Lil,
I was saddened to read of your Mother's passing and would like you to know of my sympathy.
Words seem rather inadequate at a time like this, but perhaps knowing your friends are thinking of you will be a comfort.
My many thoughts and prayers go to you and your family in this great loss--sharing with you--
Love and God bless!
