Your mom was beautiful and quite the dynamo. As a child she always reminded me of a current-day Doris Day. Your mom could do anything. My heart is aching for your family.

So sorry for your loss. Your mother was a wonderful person and friend. She kept my two children when they were young and as a young mother was always helping me with good advice. Also as a friend at antique shop in Hollywood. Will miss her very much.
