Jon & Ticia,
I am so sorry to read of your Mother's passing. She was always so very nice to me especially when Tommy died. She wrote me the sweetest sympathy note and I have never forgotten her most kind words:
"May God find a way to ease your pain. We loved him also."
And so, I am returning her literary hug to you:
May God find a way to ease your pain. I loved her also!
Jane
