Condolences
Sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I would see her occasionally in Ida Grove but didn't know that she had gone to the nursing home. Moms are very special people. Your mom is always in your corner and is not replaceable. My mom has been gone 40 years now and I still miss her and wish my kids could have known her longer. The memories are wonderful though and help a lot. We talk of her a lot and talk about the silly things she said and did. Usually we up crying but feel better for it. Take care of yourself and your family. Give me a call sometime if you can. I think of SOME of my classmates a lot and you're one of them.
