Jane, so sorry to read your Mom passed. I remember her from when you invited me to your house after school probably in fifth grade or so. I didn't get invited from "in town" girls so really made me feel special. You r lucky to have her this long. But you never stop missing them. I think the longer you have them the more you miss them. My heartfelt sympathy.
