Charlie,
My sincere condolences on your mom's passing. She was a sweet lady.
Though it's been many years, I still remember you and Michael Canavan shoveling the snow at the dental office, then having the "high level negotiations" over how much to get paid. Those are fond memories.
Hang in there. Your old pal, Dr. Jay

Even though she is now in the arms of the angels, we share and mourn your loss. In the midst of your sadness you are held in the light of those who love you. Losing someone we love is the hardest thing we ever have to deal with. It is often in the darkest skies that we see the brightest stars. Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory. Holding on to memories is the best blessing. Hold on tight and never let go!
