We were sorry to hear of your Mother's death.I have many fond memories of her and the crafts which she made for me - a ceramic nativity set and also a nurse when I graduated from nurse's training. When I lived in Chicago, she also frequently cut my hair. We pray that she had a peaceful death and now sleeps in the arms of our Lord. I remember her as someone who always had to be doing something. Thank you.
