Marie, the loss of your dear sweet mother saddens our entire family. My mother idolized your mother all her life. She was the kindest person I had ever met. My heart breaks for you because as you were, I was the only daughter mom and dad had. I know how close you and she were. You're a wonderful daughter for caring for her for many years. I know she and mom are having a magnificent reunion in Heaven. I love you and your family. I will pray for you and your brother during this very sad time in your lives.
