Kim,
While I never met your mother, reading about her makes me wish I had. Sounds like you inherited many of her positive traits. This is a time to remember the good times with her and appreciate all the values and knowledge she imparted on you. We’ll say a prayer for your family tonight asking that you receive the strength to get through this process and celebrate the time you had with Mom/Maggie.
