It's amazing how you and your mother look almost identical. The two of you share the same exact smile. I never had the opportunity to be blessed with meeting her. Your mother must have been a wonderful woman and I so do wish that I could have meet her. There is no question in my mind at what type of a remarkable woman she must have been and how many lives she graciously touched. You can tell that there was much love in the home. One can tell that "you knew that you were loved". Her video tribute was beautiful. If you ever need anything you know where I am.
