Mary Ann and Kenlynn,
I am so sorry to read about your Mom. Wow, its been since Salida School since I have heard about your family. My Mom has been in Heaven 5 years now. I know its an empty feeling to have your Mom not by your side. After awhile the love you have for your Mom will help to fill that hole in your heart.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
