Beth, so hard to lose your Mom. I remember the camaraderie between our two RN mothers. Probably a lot more to that than we will ever know. Reminiscing will become less painful over time and you will find yourself smiling again soon. Holding you up in prayer today. In His love- Barbara (Brock) Marsh
