Mrs. Mary,

My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your mother. I know exactly how you feel as I lost my mother on the same day you did. You are in my prayers as I have been saying lots and lots of them lately. That is one of the last things my Mom said to me was to pray for her and I have done just that. Take Care.
