    Kelly Downing, I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. May you find peace in knowing she's in a much better place, no more pain, may you remember all the good times and share them with your beautiful children. I know for sure she will be watching over you and yours. They say time heals but I think we just come to terms with our parents passing but I know a big piece of my heart is missing my father every day.  I'm saying a prayer for you and your family, I'm very sorry for your loss and you have my condolences.

    I am so sorry for your family's loss.  Carol provided home health care for my father and he always looked forward to her visit and especially her pleasant personality.  She and I would reminisce about dad when we ran into each other having a good laugh and walk down memory lane.
