Kathy,
I viewed your letter as great way to express the love you had for your mom. Eloquently written. I am deeply sorry for your loss. A mothers love is a special kind of love that can not be replaced. I did not have a chance to know her; she sounds like a wonderful person and she raised an equally wonderful daughter. I know she will be dearly missed by all her family and friends.
My thoughts and my prayers are w/you and your family.
Christy
