Adrianne -- I just came across this and I know it's a month after the fact, but I wanted to send you my condolences. I remember from way back when the special relationship that you had with your Mother, and that's something that will never be lost. I'll be thinking of and praying for you.
Love, Debi

Adrianne and family - I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing a mother, and even after 20 years there are so many things I wish I could share with mine. I do believe she's watching over me and the girls, and that helps with the pain I still feel. You and Ann were so close, Adrianne; try to remember the happier times.
