My sympathy to your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I first met your mom when I was 19 years old at Seafarers. I truly respected and liked your mom! She was a wonderful woman and a very good leader/manager.
I know that she is in a far better place now and that one day, you will be together again.
My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to you and your family.
