Dear Pat and Karen, You are both in my prayers during this very difficult time. There are no words to describe how I feel except to say that I too miss your Mom so very much. Ever since her funeral Mass, I've been either humming or singing "I'll Be Seeing You". What an appropriate selection that was! I know there is deep sadness and an emptiness now, however she wouldn't want that to last too long. If anyone believed in going on and enjoying life it was her! Until you can get to that point, know we are here for you.
