Just wanted you to know that the firefighters I contacted about your Mom's death had really wonderful things to say about her. She was well liked by so many, many people - and sometimes that's not an easy accomplishment - but she did it with ease. The whole fire department "family" will miss her - almost as much as you will. Love to you all.
