Teri and all,
So very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. How very blessed we all were to have had such great parents. I speak from experience, since both my parents have gone on to be with the Lord, when I say I know how you feel now but believe me when I say your memories will carry you through the hard times and you will see them again.
