I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I have so many good memories of being in your home with Billy and she was always right there. Even with all of you she somehow found room in her heart to accept me. I will always remember that. She was an important part of my teenage years. I’m sorry I didn’t make it to her services. I’m just hearing about her passing now. Please know I’m thinking of you all.
