Karen,
I have a lot of great memories of your mom. She was a great friend to my parents and my aunt Georgia. That group had a lot of laughs together. I know she is with your Dad now. This is not an easy time for you and your family and I wish you strength and the comfort of loved ones during this difficult time.
