Janet,
I am so sad to hear about your Mother. You can be at peace with all the wonderful care and attention you gave to her. I know she had to be a wonderful Mom to raise (or rear) a daughter as great as you are. I will always remember the little tales we shared about her during the past 2 years. Keeping you in thoughts and prayer.
Love, Bev
