Laura, Be comforted in knowing that your Mom is at peace and in no more pain. Remember the good times and talk about them with your family--it does help to get through the rough periods. I'm thinking about you. Claudia

Laura and family - my thoughts are with you over the loss of Mrs. Bennett. I'm sure that bright smile of hers will light up the gates of heaven as she joins hands with that close nit group of Webber ladies that made it there before her.
