Dave and Barb,
What a great picture of her. There’s just nothing that compares with losing your mother. You are never ready. I’m glad she had you, and am also glad that she is now reunited with Judith, Gary and Julie. She waited a life time for that, but she never wasted a minute of it. She was ALWAYS busy at something, often doing for someone. She always could find the need that she could fill.
