Someone said "the death of a mother is the first sorrow wept without her." We will weep without you. Mom, wherever you are, we hope there are shelves of books to read, reams of crossword puzzles to complete, and fields of four-leaf-clovers to wander. You have earned your peace and you can rest now.
