Give lots of hugs to each other and your families as your Mom would want you to do as she did with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of each other. Frannie:)

Troy, Carly and family, our hearts go out to you on the loss of your mom. It really makes you stop and think how short life really is. Erik lost his dad when he was 40. Now your mom and him can talk about how great their sons are. I'm glad that Erik is there for you and to give you comfort. Just know that she is not gone. You have her memories and know that you will all meet again in heaven. You've been our thoughts and prayers.
