Jackie, I was so sorry to hear of the death of your Mom. Hers was a second home to me during our younger years - remember our after school cards and peanut butter/ritz cracker sandwiches? Your were very fortunate to have her with you for so long. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Eva and I go back approximately 20 years when her daughter Jackie and I became best friends. I adopted Eva as my second mother. I will miss her greatly and all the good times that we shared together over the years.
My deepest sympathy to Jackie and her family and you know that I am here for you.
Love Rachel
