Wow, it's amazing to me that people I don't know respond so kindly. It sounds like you all have a story to tell about your own Mom's.
I've been encouraged by your comments and hugs!
I believe very deeply that I will see my Mom again one day and that she is much happier where she is now!
Thanks again y'all! (That's my southern transplantation comin' out!)

P.S. Here's a pic of "Nana's Granddaughter"
Her name means "God is Gracious"
