It is a blessing that you were able to be there for your mother at the time of her passing...now she will have plenty of time to look down from heaven and continue to be there for you and yours.

Dear Dawn,
Though I have only known you for a short time, I know what a wonderful person your mother must have been to have a daughter like you. She is a beautiful woman and I can only imagine how much she will be missed. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
