With heartfelt condolences on the passing of your mother.
As you grieve know that we are with you and honoring the memory of your wonderful mother. What a great, strong woman she was and what a pleasure to know her all these years through grade school, high school, and as an adult. I loved her stories. Your mom is safe now.
