Dear Sheila, Nancy, Kilo, Bill, Norma, and Kathy, It's hard to believe it's been 4 weeks since mom's passing. Her last 48 hours will forever be etched into my heart. It was such a blessing for me being there with all of you and your children to say goodbye to our wonderful mother. I wish I could join you for what would have been mom's 88th birthday. Have fun, she always enjoyed her birthdays. Let's keep in touch. Love you all so very much.
Barbara
