I'm so sorry to hear about Mom, but at the same time so glad she had a full life and such a large family. Our condolences to all.

I felt so close to your Mom, I didn't really know her by any other name then, Mom.

We've all been through so many things together, I'm not surprised that this was forwarded to me, good friends are there for one another no matter how long or how far we've been apart.

Your family is always thought of.

Love to you all.
