Hi Lori,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss – my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Mindy: My condolences to you and your family. I was so sad to hear that your Mother passed away. I am sure her spirit will always be with you. My mom passed away ten years ago, and I still hear her voice–telling me what to do!! 🙂
Mindy and Family, so sorry for your loss. It was so nice to read about your mother. She was surely very proud of the work you do each day and the person you are. I know her loss will be great and I’ll keep you in my prayers. Colleen Stahl
