Dear Erma, So sad to hear of the passing of your Mother. I learned about it at church today. I am sad we have drifted but our friendship will always be in my heart. Once a friend always a friend. Stay strong Erm, it is never easy but somehow remember the happier times spent with her or even a time that made you laugh. That will get you through. I've done it. Lean on your friends, Neil and kids. They will keep you grounded. I will always remember when you were there for me when my Mom died at Christmas. Friends forever. Love Carol Ann
