Hello Connie,
I am so sorry to learn of your mom's passing. My best memory of your parents was their interest, excitement, and generosity at sharing their time for me when I was interested in learning how to make pizza from scratch at home. I thought your parents were loving, generous, and caring people I also just lost my mom within the year as well on last Christmas after a long two-year battle with declining health conditions. I am also struggling with her loss. I think for those mom's who are super mom's they are truly missed by their children. It's hard to get used to and because my mom, like yours, was a super mom and a strong family influence, it's harder on us because they were such an integral part of the family. I know this isn't easy and it will take time to recover and get used to the changes of your mom not being here with to chat with, bake with, do errands with, and mostly, to be with each other and share your thoughts and news with.
My deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family.
