We are so sorry to hear your Mother has passed on to her eternal life. My son Mark spoke of her often and admired her for her strength to carry on like she had. As I have a broken heart and miss Mark so much; I know you feel the same pain as you do for your Mother. May God bless you and your family; continue to carry all your fond memories of her.
