Irene and Maryann,
I am sorry to hear about your Mom. When I share stories with my family about my childhood your family features prominently. I remember your Dad's workroom downstairs, with his cigars, and your Mom's lovely garden and her kitchen too. So many good memories to celebrate her life. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.
