Please take comfort in knowing she and yourself will be remembered in my thoughts and prayers. A donation is being made to the National Kidney Fooundation in honnor of her. She was a strong fighter and I was lucky to have been able to know and enjoy her. I am sure God has a very special place in Heaven with his Angels for your Mother Elaine.
