Lynn, So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I grew to love her, and you for taking care of her, while she was in Col. Hgts. Health Care Ctr. I remember how much she loved her cat, and how she bugged you until you put up the bird feeder outside of her window, which my Mom and I enjoyed, too. I visited her a few times even after my Mom passed. She always welcomed me with a hug. She was very special to me. You and your family will be in my prayers.
