I can only express my condolence by remembering the one time I met your mother Sharon & Anne. She put up with 12, giggling, querulous, 15 year olds for Sharon's either 15 or 16 sleep over birthday party...She was so gracious and thrilled at how much fun we had -- your mother was a peach of a woman...Today I still remember her with affection and patience . . .She was like the mother I never had. I am so very sorry for your loss and I pray you find peace and comfort while you heal from this incredible loss. You all will be in my prayers.
