To my dear friend Patty,
I am truly sorry to hear about your mom's passing.
It is so hard to lose your mom. The connection between mother and daughter is so very close. You will never forget her, she will always be with you, she lives in your heart. Take some time to take care of yourself, and reflect on all the positive and goodness that your mom was a part of. My heart goes out to you and your family. Jo Ann
