Jay, Your Mom was a great friend. I had not seen her for years but stopped by a number of times several years ago when she became quite ill. In spite of her own problems, she was very helpful to me in dealing with my wife's (Kay) long term battle with Parkinson's disease. I lost my Kay on Feb. 8th, just 10 days before your Mom's passing. I do take some comfort that they now probably know each other and are the best of friends. Your Mom was so down to earth and kind.
Sincerely,
John Delaney
