Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Your Mom was such a warm, loving person with a beautiful smile. We have such wonderful memories of our families growing up and getting together, especially at 4th of July parades/picnics, Cherry Blossom parades and Christmas visits. May you find comfort in these and other wonderful memories. We're so sorry we weren't able to be there to hug you in person.
Love,
