My deepest sympathy in your loss. Your mom shared my hospital room when her son was born, and I remember how overjoyed she was with his birth. We spoke from time to time, discussing our children (I had given birth to a son, as well, when Junior was born) and families, but lost touch over the years. I have thought of her often, with warm thoughts and memories, of the time we shared together. May God bless your family with the comfort of sweet memories at this time of sorrow.
