So sorry to hear about your mom I was shocked when I heard the first thing that came to mind about your mom was her perky energenic,personality. I used to baby sit you when you were little.I always admired how hard she worked to take care of you as a single mother. my deepest sympathy to you during this time of sadness. If you ever want to talk just look me up would love to see the nice young man i'm sure you have become.
