To my cousins Donna, joy, Andrew & Paul I send a warm hug. Co-workers or strangers may ask "How old was your Mom?", as many did when my own mother passed away at 88; causing you to wonder... should this not hurt? as you relay their advanced count of years on this planet. But it doesn't matter our age or their age when we lose them... they were our Moms...there every day of our lives..and now, suddenly they're gone. We'll always miss them - regardless of our relationship with them.
