Lynda,
Sorry for your lost but as we all know your mother is finally at peace. She is in a place now without pain. She is with love ones that passed before her and she will see you again in heaven. It is hard to let go but remember her love for you is forever even in death.

I have so many fond memories of Aunt Betty from my childhood. She was such a great lady and managed to become an unofficial surrogate grandparent to my siblings and me. We will miss her.
