Julie and family, I just heard after 9pm this evening about your Mom. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I would have paid my respects had I known earlier. Having lost both my parents I am keenly aware of the hole it creates in your heart. I hope the acuteness of the pain subsides and gives way to wonderful memories as soon as possible. You are all in my thoughts.
