Rob:
I have read and reread your Mom's obituary several times for it to sink in. We always think our parents will live forever but the reality is they don't. I remember how close you and your Mom were and I am very sorry for the pain you are going through right now. I know it is very hard.
The picture of her is great, it brought back many memories for me. The one and only time I called her Mrs. Coughenour and she said no that is my MIL's name my name is Sharon.
My hope for you and Julie is to find comfort from each other and the memories that you all have of your Mom.
With deepest sympathy and peace.
