I lost my mom tonight, she was the one who got me started in rocks and always enjoyed seeing what I found even if it was a leverrite. I will miss her but I know that mom and dad will always be with me when I am out hunting new rocks to drag home. I want to ask everyone that still has has there mom and dad to give them a call and let them know how much they mean to them. Please keep my family in your prayers. Keith Phagan

AH Keith,

I know how sad and deep the pain is when a Mom heads off to Heaven without us. Be comforted by all the good memories; they will surely lessen the pain over time. What a wonderful gift and legacy your Mom gave you by instilling a love of rocks. And when you find some of Earth's beauties in the future, every once in a while just hold one up to the sky so your Mom can get a better look. She'll like that!

You and your family are in my prayers. Sending you Circles of Love.

And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

Please accept my condolences in the loss of your mom. I am so sorry. Like it's been said above, you will always be connected through your love of rocks. And every time you're out "hunting", you know she'll be right there with you, agreeing with you on how pretty a rock is or getting excited over what you can do with it!
