Suzie I am very sorry for your loss. When I think of your mom she was such a great mother. A memory I have of her is when she took us to the Italian fest and I guess us being teenagers thought we were going to try and lose her but she was fast. It always makes me laugh thinking how well she kept up with us and didn't let us lose her. May God comfort your family during this difficult time.
