Bill;
I recall who you are from F.O.C.A.S. at CLC in Great Falls…
I am so sorry for your loss. Our mother is our first best friend. It seems somehow hard when she is the last parent to go – like closing a book on our lives.
May this poem bring comfort to your heart. It is hard to lose someone so close to the Holidays – I know ~
