Danny, sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Sending prayers to you and your family. My mother is 90 and has Alzheimer's, I love her so much, but I feel like she is already gone. She is in a nursing home. I can't imagine living to be 90 can you? You are lucky to have your mom with you for so long. You are a good friend. Love Jerralyn

Danny and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Know that she is in a better place and happy once again. She was ready and went willingly, but you are the ones missing her. I'm sure God will grant you the peace of mind to do your grieving and move on because she has gone on before you and will be waiting for you on the other side.
