Bobby, we were saddened to hear about the passing of your mom. Our prayers are with you. We enjoyed spending the holidays with you both and something was missing this past year when she was too sick to be there. She is whole again, an angel now watching over you and in Gods hands where she is safe. And I'm sure there is a big Bingo game up there for her to join in on.
