Sending my sincerest condolences to you both on the loss of your mother, Lori. I only met her a couple of times, but it was easy to see how kind she was, plus extremely warm and welcoming with her sweet smile.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, and may your dear mother forever rest in peace. God bless.
