On A Friend's Loss of A Mother

Dear Friend,

I am sorry to hear of your heavy loss.

I remember 
when my mother passed; 
it was difficult.

Yet even now, 
when I face a problem, 
I ask her what is right, 
and the answer comes.

We all must go, 
and yet something stays.

May their memory 
be a blessing.

And before some fool complains about the use of "their" ... the original was in response to a friend who lost both a mother and a mother-in-law in a short time. I don't feel like changing this to pre-accommodate anyone who really should have asked their mother first.
