Sharon, I'm sorry I was unable to make it to your Mother's viewing, but want you know that she and your family have been in my prayers. There is no greater pain than the loss of your Mother. I lost mine in December 1999, and not a day goes by that I don't think about her. They say time heals all wounds. This wound will never heal, but will become more bearable as time goes on. May God give you the strength and courage to make it through this trying time. Linda Q.

I was very sad to hear the news about your Mom. I have not spoke to her in a long time. We worked together at Digital. Sharon will probably remember me. I just found out today (11/12). My thoughts are with all of you. Va. & Dennis Keane
