I am so sorry on the loss of your mom. I enjoyed her company so much - she told me a story which I will treasure of when she and my mom would go to Filene's in Boston to shop when the footie pajamas for kids went on sale - a girls' day out! I am still thinking of things we could talk about....I am also grateful and touched at how she welcomed my daughter. Marialena and I will miss her like mad.
