I am specifically mentioning both of you because we are friends. Ann and I were so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Although she lived a wonderful long life it is still difficult coming to terms with her leaving. Hopefully, the years ahead will be full of great memories and laughter thinking of her as the mother who loved you and who was loved in return. May the family come together and remember your mom as a great role model and mother. There will never be anyone else like her in your life but if she lives in your heart and mind then she will never die.
Dave and Ann Forfar
