My sincere condolences Karen. I see from the obituary that your mom was a grandmother and a great grandmother. How wonderful. We have become our mothers, and now the matriarch of the family. We had good role models. I think of my mother almost every day, with joy in my heart. I hope you can do that as well. Jude
