I am so sorry to hear of your loss of a wonderful wife and mother. Been such a long time, but memories are still very close to my heart. Wonderful memories of a great woman. To both the girls, time will go on and you will miss her like crazy, but think of those things she taught you and those special times. Best way to remember her is thru your smiles. I will always think of her in that way. Love and prayers to all of you.
