Sandy - My thoughts go out to you, Ted and your family during this time of sadness and loss. Time can never heal the deep hole that the loss of a parent brings, but knowing that you've still got a part of her with you because you are her daughter should bring solace to you and joy to others. May her memory live on forever.
