Char and Mike,
The last time I saw your mom was when I took Uncle Eddie and Jason to see her. I will never forget when she looked at me she smiled lifted her finger and called me Dolores. I smiled back and walked toward her and she said Mona. She had the biggest smile on her face. She always made such a fuss over me. That will always be one of my most precious memories of her. I love you both and pray that God will give you both the peace of knowing that she is with Him and that she is very happy right now!!
