I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful woman. I wish our whole family had stayed in closer contact. My memories of her were of a spitfire, quick to joke and laugh, a real sweetheart. It must be very difficult to go through this in such a difficult time. I wish I could attend the services but understand that it isn’t possible right now. You have my deepest sympathies.
