I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I loved Aunt Jerry evern though I never was able to see her once I was older. I have fond memories of visiting your house in South Holland. I mostly remember when you lived in the basement. I remember your mom as a kind, hardworking woman. My mother loved her like a sister and spoke to me of the good times they had especially when the both lived in Holland together. My deepest sympathy for your loss.
