Dear Gary, I guess it is coming up on the one year anniversary of losing your mom. I've been told it gets better;some moments are sad reminders that I lost my mom but then I remember the fun & silly stuff mom & I did and those moments can not be taken from me or from you and your mother!!! Hang on to those happy, fun and loving memories!!!

Dear Gary, My heart goes out to you. Your mother was a great person with a wonderful spirit as she was raising you.I remember her when you got married in 1977 and I observed her at the church and the home reception. I thought to myself what a classy lady. I know that goes back a long time ago, but her personality left a great impression on me.
