Al & Karen,
I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I know the last few months had been pretty tough for "Mrs. M," but she certainly was a fighter. I was always amazed at the pace she kept, even in her later years. Sending thoughts and prayers to you all at this time, but I have to admit I smile, as I think about her "Dancing with the Stars."
