I am so so svery sorry for your loss. Its hard lossing anyone at any time in ones life, but during this Holiday season makes it so much more difficult. There will be an empty chair at the holiday table this year, but it will be filled with loving and beautiful memories with such a beautiful person. She was one of the most caring person I have know. I lost my mother Christmas Eve 1994 and it is still not any easier. May God be with all of you and your family. She will be missing by many for eternity. My prayers will always be with you and your families.
