We'll all miss your mom, but I do believe that she is watching over us & catching up with family. I think what I'll remember the most is yes, her unselfnishness to other. No matter what she had, she always found ways to brighten a childs life. Know that time makes things easier but it's never quite gone. She'll always be missed, my prayers and thoughts are with you. Know I love you both.

Mike,
You Truly are the image of our Mother. Whom also is the image of our Father.
My dear Brother, I Love You! Please know and find comfort in knowing that you and I have not witnessed the end but the beginning.
The obituaries got it wrong. Mom never died on 18 October... but she lived and lives indeed.
"those whomsoever believeth in me, thou he were dead yet shall he live." The dead are Truly not alive even though they are breathing... And the living, (such as Mom, our Mother), shall never die!
There is no risk of her ever tasting death no longer. She made it Mike. With flying colors of Love, she made it.
I Love You dearly my brother. I Love our Dad dearly also; so you know that I must speak to you Truthfully so that I too may be reunited with Mom.
FATHER BLESS Your Brother forever! jim l. delelys
