I'm so very sorry to hear of your moms passing. I have so many memories of her and your dad. I think she had me convinced when I was little that my name was actually "Michael Go Home"!! I'm afraid I will be out of town and am unable to attend both the wake and funeral but know that I am thinking of her and the entire family. God bless her.
