Dear Mary Beth & family - there are no words to comfort the loss of a good mother. I know all of you take solace in knowing that her time of passing was not a coincidence to fall on the same day of her 57th wedding anniversary. How romantically wondrous! Please know that the love does go on. Listen to the wind for her voice, turn to the sun for her warmth, and glance at the stars, one will be hers shining over all of you. Blessings and prayers to all. Stay strong! Her journey here is over, but a new one has just begun. Lainie
