Diane. I am so sorry to see this. I didn't even know your mother passed.
I'll always remember her and my mother in the kitchen cooking up a storm and bickering over who was head chef. They were a pair. My deepest regrets. Do you think they are cooking for every one in heaven. A nice thought. And STILL bickering over head chef. Those are wonderful memories for me.
