Dear Donna, Lori and Lisa, I am sad that your mother has died, but happy for her to be in the presence of God. When I was growing up she was like my big sister. She was three years older than I. Since I had no sisters, she was my "sister" especially when I was a teen. We talked about many things. May God bless each of you as you take up life without your mother here.
