Vickie and family, I am so sorry to hear of your dear mother passing away. I had always heard so many fine things about her. I lost my mom 1-1/2 year ago and it is a hard thing to do but, for me, I know she is not suffering. Please accept my sincere sympathy for you at this very sad time. Love, Jane and Terry Smith
