Karen, our thoughts are with you and your family today having to say goodbye to such a wonderful Mother.  Even though we have the promise of someday being together again, it is always so hard for those of us left to continue on with such a big void in our lives.  I have such fond memories of your mom and all she did for us kids growing up on 5th street.  Always with a smile.  One of many memories I have is coming home and telling mom that your mom was making soup out of fish.  I had never in my life had ever tried or ever heard of such.  To this day I remember that smell of that fish soup cooking.  Then in the later years, watching her walk everyday around the neighborhood, I watch her start her decline and it would sadden me so.  We know that she is now whole again and walking the streets of gold.  She is the lucky one.
