My brother called and told me about your MOM, I am so sorry. I know that you loved her very much. I still remember the coconut cakes that she made and she always tried to have me some tuna fish salad in the frig. You all are so much a part of my younger years and memories. I will always remember the time spent in your home and the love that was in it that you always had room for me!! It left such a profound lasting impression in my life. I wish that I could give you all a hug. Just remember we shall see her again in heaven. Love to you all.
