    Laura and family: sooooo sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I remember saying she was staying with you. My Mom has been gone for 18 years, and you never forget. Please find peace and comfort in knowing that all suffering stops at Heaven’s Gate and your Mom will now be pain free, happy and watching over all of you. You will notice little things that happen some days that you know your Mom is near. (((HUGS))) to all of you.
