Mom, I still have your Christmas box. All of us kids have a picture ornament of you and mine is on our Christmas tree. It never gets put away and is close by year round. This is definitely the most difficult time of year for us since you were in the hospital for Christmas and passed two days later. We love and miss you so much! Diane
