Thinking of you and your Family Deb. I never had the privilege of meeting your mom but I can tell the type of woman she was by stories you’ve told and of course by the the wonderful family she leaves behind to carry on her legacy.
I hope you can find comfort in this quote:
“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” (Kahlil Gibran)
