Howard, sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I know what its like to lose a mother as I lost mine when she was 54 and to have your mother in your family's lives for all those blessed years is truly a great gift from the Lord. God bless all your family in the days we have on this earth. I extend my sympathy to you and all your family.
