To the Himmelein family... my thoughts and sympathies go out to you on the loss of your mom. I truly believe you may find that she's still with you. Just keep your mind receptive and your hearts and eyes open. It's happened to us with lost members of the Seiy family. It can happen for you, as well.

I cannot imagine my childhood without this woman! Always felt her love, her talks with the girls, her laughter, always making sure there were Oreos in the cookie jar! Much love to you all!!
