Joe,

My thoughts, mediations and prayers are with you and your family. I hope the comfort of friends will help you through. I didn't know your Mom but since I have briefly known her son, I can be sure she was a generous, loving, kind women whose legacy of art and children lives and honors her. A mother's best efforts are her children and their abilities to spend time with her in memories through out their lives. I know what a comfort this can bring, in time. God bless you and your family.
