George, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. When someone we love so dearly passes away, we tend to lose a part of ourselves as well. But we must remember that although they are no longer in our site, they will forever remain in our hearts. So, let us look at life as a gift from God. Now that He wants it back we have no right to complain.
May God continue to bless you and your family.

George, John and Richard,
I fondly remember the days at your house and your loving mother. She taught me the Catholic blessing at your table, which I invoke to this day. My sincere condolences for your loss. Worth
