Todd:
Having lost two parents recently, I feel the pain you must be going through. At the same time I am reminded of the words of Mark Twain when he said "My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it!" Having never met your mother, but having spent time with you,
my guess is that the quote is not far off. God bless you and your family.
