Greg: I thought so much about you and your mom after you called and prayed her passing was peaceful. You were a wonderful son and I know she loved you very much and was so very very grateful for everything you did for her. She was lucky to have you. I will miss my chats with your mom and also receiving her fun notes. She was a beautiful lady, both inside and out. I know there is a void in your life now but she is at peace and maybe my mom and dad and yours are playing bridge together - ha ha. They sure had some fun times. Keep her memories close to your heart and know she will always be a part of it no matter where you are. Take care Greg.
