June - The only thing good about saying goodbye to your mom, and doing the funeral thing, in all its sadness, is that you only have to do it one time. You will carry hear in your heart forever. You will talk to hear long after she's gone and you will wish you had ask her some questions. My prayers are with you as you go through this time of transition.
