My prayers are with you Mike and with your family with the passing of your Mother. I am so said to hear the news about you Mother. She was a very special woman who will always be in my memories as a boy growing up. She seemed to always be there at all of our key moments.

I was just talking to my Mom about my Aunt Helen, they were planning to go to visit their sister, my Aunt Diane, this past Monday, they were very close and my Mom was fortunate to have Aunt Helen in her life for so many years. All of those that got to know her were better for it. Kevin
