I am sorry for your loss. I worked with your mother at a nursing home here in DuBois, Pa. She was so good with each resident and their family. She was an example for all. God blessed us with her here on earth and she is now recieving her reward. Thanks for sharing your mother with us all. May God bless and give you all peace in knowing that someday once again we will all be together but this time for eternity.
