Dear Lawrence,Teresa and Stephen, I was so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I knew from Brenda that she had not been doing well. You had here for a long time, but I know how much you will miss her. Sometimes I think I will call mother and then realize that she's gone. You especially will miss her more than others because she was the one who loved you unconditionally no matter what. You can't replace a love of your mother. I will always remember her as being one of my favorite aunts. She was always sweet and nice to me and I loved her smile. Take care of your dad. The loss of A lifelong companion will be hard on him, as I'm sure you know. I will be unable to come for her funeral on Saturday as I recently had triple bypass surgery and I do not drive much anymore. My husband's job prevents him from bringing me. Please know that you all are in our prayers and thoughts for the days ahead. You had a really good mom! I know you will miss her. Sometimes I still think I need to call my mom only to realize she is gone. I really miss her. Take care of yourselves and Lawrence. All my love, Linda and Gary
