I'm so sorry for your loss, Al...I think about you all the time and admire your love for mom and your marriage; you two are truly an inspiration. My father just died a couple of weeks ago also; it is so much loss in such a short time; I will always remember Dorothy fondly; her laugh, her love of life, her love for you...she was an inspiration to us all. Your "favorite" daughter-in-law, Allyson
