Harry , Diane and Nancy, Your mom meant the world to me and I will miss our chats terribly. She was such a strong woman with a quality about her that just lifted your spirits each time you spoke to her. I will continue my chats with her from time to time as I do with my mother ( her sister) and others that have passed who are dear to me. Our heart felt sympathy is with you at this time of loss.
