Gina, I was so sorry to learn of your Mom's death. Please know that I am thinking about you. Even though I only met her (and your Dad) one time -- and that was at your and David's wedding -- I still know that she was a great lady because of the person you are. I'm glad we had the opportunity at GM to share thoughts and feelings about our parents. I won't forget that. I am assured that you, your Dad, and Cheryl (and your families) have wonderful memories that will give you peace to get through this difficult time.
