Wendy,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. She was a wonderful mother and an inspirational woman. I have so many great memories of her along with you. She tolerated so much from us and smiled at our young ideals and encouraged us to move forward with life. She was so proud of you and your accomplishments. I know that she will be greatly missed. May God help you through this difficult time. My Love to you and the rest of the family.
