Marilyn, I just heard about your Mom. I have many fond memories of being at your house and eating some of the delicious meals your Mom cooked. I remember your wanting a fast food hamburger instead of her Thanksgiving meal. My condolences. Dolores Orange

Marilyn - you were an exceptional daughter who gave her love and care unconditionally to your mom. She will always occupy that place in your heart where "mothers" reside forever. Celebrate her life and what she gave to others. May God's grace grant you, Ray, and your family peace. You mom is happy now, and she wants health and happiness for you. Love, Arlene
