The barbeques, the short vacation to Noel Mo. the memories are fresh and vivid of what a happy giggley soul she was. Her light was bright. I loved both your parents as my own, please accept my sincere condolences.

    I give my condolences to my siblings for their loss, the loss that I share with them. As others have written here and said elsewhere, mom left others feeling cared for like a mother. I was recently told there will never be a person in my life like my mom. I believe I can say, this will be true for all of my 4 sisters as it will uniquely be for me. My thanks to all the thoughtfulness and kindness expressed to me and my family. Warm hugs to all.
