Deb & Jackie, you know I loved your mom just like she was my own. I always felt like she was my second mom. I have so many special, fond memories and those will never be forgotten. I wish so very much that I could be with the two of you now, and in some small way help you get through this trying time. I will be there, if not in body, in spirit and prayer. Your mom walks with the angels now and you should find some comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering. All my love to you both always...Deb
