Bob,



You are in my thoughts and prayers as you celebrate your mothers 95 years of life, and now her passing to her eternal place of rest. You are fortunate to have had her for so long. I'm sure it is difficult, regardless of age, to say goodbye to a parent. Best wishes, and again you are in our thoughts and prayers.
