Monique,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. You took the time to send me that wonderful card and memory book when I lost my Aussie Boomer earlier this year. I don't remember if you realized that it was just 4 days after I had lost my mother. Even after all these months, I still think about her and miss her and wish I could share things with her. Time does heal the pain, but the memories will always be with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you as well. Take Care and hug Red!!
