Cindy,

My heart goes out to you. I know well of your love and dedication to your mom, and likewise of the pain of separation, which you are also very familiar with. Appreciating our lives together, we look towards our inevitable "better place" together too. You may feel a little weak right now, but you'll stay as strong as you've always been, and grow even more so, while you and your family cherish and build upon your countless wonderful memories.

Love ya,
Kaye
