I am sorry to hear of the passing of my aunt and am regretful that I could not attend her funeral and be with the family members and friends that were close to her. Billy, I'm sorry for your great loss and I pray that the loving memories of your mother will someday take the place of the sorrow you feel now. God be with you!
