Carolyn and family, I was sad to hear of your mom’s passing but how lucky you were to have had her in your life for so many years. What great memories you must have. I didn’t know your mom but I know you will miss her as I miss mine. I will always remember how kind you were to me when I lost my mom and I wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you at this sad time. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I am unable to make the service but I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
