So sorry to hear this -our family (the Fish family) grew up with your family and your mom was one of the most beautiful people inside and out. She was a role model - and I owe her so much because it was her telling me how to get an annulment after my divorce which I would never have known I could. She was a blessing to all! Always happy and positive and so strong in her faith. God bless you sweet lady - and beautiful eternal happiness reunited with Bill.
