Julie~I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I hope you and your brother are doing well. I just found out today, if I had known, I would have come to the mass. I always loved your mother. She always had time to sit and talk, laugh, or go through whatever event we were dealing with at the time.
I pray your family heals through this time.
Love~Angie
