You all know how I felt about your Mom....she was truly one in a million and nothing meant more to her than her family. I feel blessed to have been part of her life. I will miss her as everyone will but take comfort in knowing that we will meet and laugh again (and drink coffee!) Until then she will be that angel on our shoulders.
