Hi Lorraine and Lou,
My sister called from California to tell me about your loss. I remember your mom when we were children and through our years in the Heather Street Maplewood Avenue days. Great memories. Losing both parents is so hard. Think about it. You will never be the child again. You are now the adult. As time passes is gets easier. And just when you try to remember someone or something from the past , Sleep on it. Mom or Dad will usually come through. May she rest in peace. All my love and prayers
