Ashley,
Please accept my condolences to you and your family on your mom's passing. I did not know her well but whenever I ran into her, she was always friendly and looked exquisite or stunning. Your mom was a very classy lady and was very proud of her children. I pray that God will strengthen and keep you during this difficult time and in the days ahead. Sending love and light to you all.
