Dear Gary,
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. I'm praying that you find comfort in loving memories and in the many wonderful times you must have shared.
What a blessing to have your Mom in your life for so many years; though I'm sure that at this time, it still doesn't seem to be long enough.
May the loving thoughts of friends and family be a comfort to you at this time - Until you meet again.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,
Felicia "Flea" Styles-Echols
