Hi, Bruce and Family
Does not matter how old we get it hurts to lose a parent. Remembering the good times and sharing this memories is a real comfort. Your mom loved to laugh and would not welcome tears. The last thing my Dad told me was “Don’t cry”. I imagine May would have said the same.

What a shock to read of your mom’s death,Bruce. This has been a hard year for you, and we are thinking of and praying for you.
