Dear Ellen so sorry to hear you have lost your dear Mother. Losing one's mother is never easy I know from personal history.
I lost my oldest son in June and grief is my life now and I know you are feeling the same. I will certainly add you to my prayers as I have been praying for Bob all along.
My very deepest sympathy to you and your family.
