Praying for you all during this time of loss. I have such fond memories of your mom...visiting at Christmastime and all the growing up years. She was warm, loving and kind. I know there will be an empty space in your hearts. I am glad that I had an opportunity to visit with her when Betty Ann brought me by on my last vacation with family in NJ. Love and hugs to all.
