Condolences
I am so sorry for your loss. I also found out your mom passed a few months ago. I am so sorry for both your losses. My prayers are with your families. Your mom and dad are together and at peace now. Kind of funny, I am now married to a truck driver(owner operator). I always thought it was amazing how your parents kept up with all they did, and kept it straight! Your mom was always sitting at that desk in the kitchen! My thoughts are with you. God Bless.”
