Dear Joan and Frank,
We are so sorry for your loss. No matter how old we are, or our station in life, When we lose our Mother, we all feel like little children, lost at the supermarket. We are reasonably sure everything will be OK, but we still have that unconnected feeling. Just know time will heal the feeling. We keep you in our prayers and our thoughts. Ed and Dot Koranda
