My heart goes out to each and everyone of you. When I met your family back in the 70's I saw what a loving family you all were. The love was so strong amongst all of you, what a beautiful sight to see. God has taken one of his angels home with him, and she will look upon each and everyone of you always. Your mother will be greatly missed by many.
