Eileen,
I need to explain first. After my husband died I swore I would never say "I'm Sorry" I heard it so many times. When one of my relatives said. I just want to say..... So I just want to say that when I knew your mom she was a thoughtful "mom" we laughed after school and on weekends. She busted on us and your father. She was one of many "moms" we had, those who knew her have a place in their hearts with her name.

Eileen, my sincere condolences go out to you and your family. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Andrea
