Steve, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. As I remember from my Dad's passing, even though she may have been very sick for a long time, you're never really prepared for the shock of the loss of a parent. I still think about my Dad every day. I'm guessing you will think about your mom too and happier days. Tom Starck
