Of course, someone with such a big heart had plenty of friends to share with. My mom had many friends, both new and old. My mom was always there for people and was so incredibly understanding. I was lucky enough to grow up around my mom's friends many of which have been there for me and her the last few months. She surrounded herself with people that she knew loved her. I feel these people were so lucky to have her friendship just as she was to have theirs. It makes me think of the quote “Don't be sad that it's over, be glad that it happened” I don't want my Mom's memory to be overshadowed by her death. My mom was so full of life, a life that I know will live on in her friends. My mom never hated anybody, even if people were awful to her. She had no room in her heart for hate, and that's just the kind of woman she was. My mom considered everyone a friend.
