Dear Family,
You can tell us how grateful you are for a good mom who did so much for you, but what she gave you that we all desire are good genes. Moses wrote at Ps.90:10 that 70 or 80 years are a blessing. Anything exceeding these are added blessings and longevity. You have my condolences. Ps.83:18
