Cathy and family, My thoughts are with all of you. Your Mom was one of the sweetest people I've ever known. Always loving and giving. I'm so glad I got to see her the last time I was in Houston. My deepest sympathies to you all. I wish I could be there to say good bye, but she will always be with all of us,in spirit and the wonderful memories she left each of us.
