I was deeply saddened to learn of your mom’s passing. When last we met she looked as vibrant as ever, I was so happy to see her. Life happens, time passes, but your mom never changed. Those memories of pip and mim came flooding thru. Both were wonderful people and now they are together again. Again my condolences to all the family.
