I am so very sorry to just learn that your sweet mother passed away. Nancy was one of my mom's very good friends. My mom just passed away Sept 30th, so now they can go gambling together and out to dinner or lunch. She was such a dear friend of my mom's (Marilyn Luce) my mom had brain cancer and I didn't want Nancy to know because my mom's mind was already going. I hope your mom did not suffer. May she rest in peace.??
