Sara, I am so saddened by this news. Your Mom was an absolute gem, with her quick wit and easy laugh. No doubt Wanda was first in line at the gates to greet her, and they are joyfully gallivanting around the Heavens together by now! May you take comfort in the memories of your Mom's life well-lived, and may her unwavering love for you and all the family be ever-present in your heart.
