Oh Jan, my heart aches for you! I am so sorry, this has been many years of health issues, and now your mom rests with her Lord, but her seat is empty here on earth. You are in my thoughts and prayers, especially in these next weeks and months of establishing a new "normal". I miss you, love, Gert H
