Stephen,
I'm so sorry that your mother has passed away. You took such good care of her and were so loyal to her, I'm sure that she was proud of her son. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

My sympathy goes out to the Devan family for the loss of such a loving and caring woman. I can remember Ann from when I was little boy and she was always kind and friendly to everyone as long as I knew her. Losing Ann is like losing a family member, and that is what Ann was to my family and I, she was family.
