Carolyn,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. I remember her fondly during our “young” years. I enjoyed the times I spent at your home.
You were fortunate to have her for so many years, but, it is always difficult to lose your mom.
My prayer and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
