Kenny,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. It seems like just yesterday when you and she came out to California to visit. I remember my friend Colleen telling me at the time:"You can tell Kenny's Mom is a good Mom. She's the definition of what a good mom is."
I think that was true then, and true all these years. It's not easy to lose a good mom, but we must be thankful for all the good she did for us.
