Simone & Family,
This has been a difficult time for you and may it comfort you and your family to know how many caring thoughts are with you at this sad time.
As you know, I have been there and know what a challenge it can be at times (you couldn't have done more). Also, your happy memories of your mom will make you smile at times and keep you going.
With Love
