Mare, my buddy. Know that I am so saddened to hear of your loss. I know that your mother was truly happy in the time she was with you. Always remember that you did what you could for her and she knew it. You will always have your memories of the two of you sharing laughs together. She's in peace now, and where she belongs ....with God. I wish I was able to pay my respects to your mother and to you in person. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Your buddy, Maria Meister.
