My own mother passed away 5 years ago this December at the age or 68. I do understand your grief and sorrow, and you are in my thoughts and prayers as you work through this transition. We all missed you, Mark, at our class reunion in August, and I wish I could have been there for you at your mother's service. Sincerely, -Sandra
