Carol, Dave, Andrea, Lauren and Gina. I am So, so sorry to hear about Mom (and Grandmom's) passing! I remember her well. I actually think of her often because of a diet she tried, and I started it as well. Didn't work so well for me, but I always smile and chuckle when I make a meal with 33% Protein! I am privileged l to have spent time with her at family functions. My deepest condolences. <3
