I am so sorry for your loss Tina, I have known your mother for many years and I have always enjoyed our visits. She was a very sweet lady and she will be sadly missed.
I'm deeply saddened that your mother has passed away. I also knew her well and everytime I talked with her, she would ALWAYS talked about you. She was caring, loving, funny and a good hearted person. She may be gone, but NEVER forgotten. From the bottom of my heart Tina, I'm SO sorry for your loss. If there's anything I could do, please let me know. Again, she will certainly be missed.
