Cindy, Brian, Robert, and Jeff. You had a good Momma who loved you dearly. Later on you had the opportunity to care for her in ways many people will never understand or experience. May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you peace during this time and forever more. "As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you." Blessings to you all my friends.
