My heart and prayers are with you during this hardest of times. I can honestly say I know how you feel. After the loss of my mother, Eleanor stopped by my father house every week with something she had baked fresh that day for him and to visit, she had one of the biggest hearts and was a very special lady. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
