Marilyn, I was so sorry to hear about your mom.
Sometimes it is so hard to accept a family member passing, but we have to remember it is all in that grand scheme of things. It takes time and prayer, but our life seems to take on it's own transitions. I would love to hear from you.
God Bless You and your family. My prayers are with you.
Cathy (Heitgen) Jackson
Joan and John Lemer and Brian and family

With my deepest sympathy for you and your family,
