Barbara, may your love for Mom & fond memories carry you through this difficult time. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. I believe your mother is peacefully watching over all of you.

Our Moms probably greeted each other in Heaven. Thank you for the care & dignity you gave my mom when she needed it. God bless you all.
