Just eight days after celebrating her 68th birthday, our beautiful mother passed away surrounded by all three of her children. We were sharing our favorite memories of mom when she gently exited her physical body. As in life, mom handled her final transition with grace, humor and love. Up until her last breath, she asked how WE were doing. There is a deep hole in each of our hearts that may never heal. We can only hope the light of her soul shines through each of our hearts until we see her again.
