I cannot express my sadness for all of you. Your mother was such a wonderful person, and such a big part of my life for many years. I am so fortunate to have been able to be in her presence at holidays, birthdays, vacations, football games, etc... She was so very special to me, and she will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
