Andrea, you and Frank and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest sympathy to all of you as you say goodbye to your beloved Mom. I did not know her long, but in that brief time I could tell what a sweet, caring, loving person she was. I know you will miss her so very much, but she is no longer in pain and is with our Lord and Savior as well as her beloved relatives and friends who already reside in heaven. May you find comfort in sweet memories, and in knowing how many people loved your Mom and who also love you. Hugs my sweet friend. Lois
