Mike and family, My deepest and sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. Losing one's Mom is like losing the foundation of a home and the sorrow that follows can be never ending. From reading the beautifully written obituary, your mother was a great woman to be admired. Mike - she exemplifies a lot of the traits that are a part of you today and you should be proud of that... reflect on the memories and cherish them as I am sure that many of them will bring a smile to your face.
