I am thinking of you today as my brother & sister are on there way to help honor your Mom's life. I was thinking of coming also but with the animals needing extra care in the cold weather I just couldn't get away. My deepest sympathy is with you as you go though these very difficult days, look to God for strength and peace. Many times you will hear your Mom's words (sometimes from yourself) then you will remember her5 and it will bring you memories and peace.
