So sorry for your loss, dear. Funny thing: I don't check in here much, but this is the first thread I saw when I dropped in. Had just come from our local pub, where we were celebrating the launching of my baby to college tomorrow, but remembering sitting at the same table at the wake we held for my mother there, among friends and relations.

How nice for you that you have these marvelous stories and memories for you to share with your children, and theirs. May the warm memories heal the heart.
