Dearest Cheryl,
Sad to hear your mom has passed, but know she’s in a better place with your dad and all of her long time friends. I’m Irish, we picture our loved ones that have passed as being welcomed by those “they” loved who’ve passed & are already there! Not just hugging, but all out partying ~ having fun & reminesing the good old days!! God Bless You All & May She Rest In Peace. Amen
