Marilyn, my heart bleeds with you, Cassandra, and Peggy over the transition of your mom. I know how you feel because I lost my mom last year. I offer the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to you: :Death is not a period that ends the sentence of life, but rather an exclamation mark that punctuates it to a more loftier height". Know that I love you and you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Love you. Shalom!
