Beth,
I work with Beth Huffey and have met you a couple of times. It has been awhile,but I wanted to let you know I am thinking about you and your family during this difficult time. I know, I have lost my mom also, not in the same way, but no matter how you look at it, it is hard. Hang in there and know she is in God's hands now and so you know she is ok. I hope in time you will find peace with that. Sounds like you have a loving family and I know you have a good friend in Beth to help you along the way. Take care and remember all the good times you had with your mother and how much she loved you.
Vicki B.
