Hi Ann, I am so sorry, I lost my daughter to cancer, she was 41 and I still can't believe that she is gone.  It's so hard, I'm so sorry for your loss.  In my daughter's case, she suffered a lot near the end and she is at peace now.  I miss her so much, I can't explain how much.  I hope that you will be comforted in the thought that your Mom is at peace.  Thank you for inviting me to be your friend. Hank
