Chris, I am so sorry of the loss of your Mom. You must be going through so much in losing what I think is the single most important compass in our lives. I know your mom was that to you, too, and with this loss comes so many layers of heartache. Please know my heart is open to giving you anything you might need during this time of incredible loss.
Time lessens the pain you are feeling now. I am here for you, if you need me.
Love ya, Marilyn
