May God sustain you through this time. Many of us from Madison had wonderful, real, mothers and your Mom was one. She's on to a life with God now, in Spirit. Some children today, especially in the urban areas have to look long and hard for a real mother. We were blessed! May your memories keep you strong and continue to love each other.
Peace, Love and Light
