Stephanie & Russ, sorry for your loss. I understand that the past several months and longer have been difficult in dealing with your Mom’s condition. I know that you always had her best interest first. It was difficult knowing how she used to be and then watching as her liveliness faded as her medical issues slowly took that away . I do have many fond memories of your Mom and our family get together’s. That is what I will take forward and hope that you can too. My deepest sympathies as I know you had a very caring relationship with your parents and she will be missed.

Stephanie, the video is wonderful as, we’re sure, are so many of the memories of your mother. So sorry we didn’t get to know her but, from all your descriptions, she must have been a real pistol with a terrific sense of humor (which we’ve noticed you’ve inherited)! Know we love you and our prayers are with you, Russ, and your dad.
