Shelley, So sorry to hear that your mother died. I just happened to read the Rockford Paper + noticed your maiden name. Hope your memories of your mom will console you as you grieve her loss. My son 33 years old, just died in Dec. 07 and we don't know why. I share your grief. Sincerely, Pat Kerns Gromer Ghyselinck
