So sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I'm the daughter of Joan Sherman, your Mom's cousin. The last time I saw your Mom was when she and her sister Phyliss came out to New England (2005?). My mother and I had such a wonderful time vacationing with them on the coast of Maine. Memories last forever - enjoy the ones you have of your Mom. My deepest sympathy to you - Susan Sherman, Milton, Vermont
