I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words to describe how sad you must be. Losing a Mother is one of the hardest losses of all. You only ever have one Mother. The girls have lost a Grandmother that thought they were the greatest thing to ever happen to her. She loved those girls with all of her heart. Jay you have lost your partner for life that you loved and adored. She will always be with you in spirit. My Love to all of you!!!!!!
