I hope that in this difficult time you can find comfort in the wonderful memories you have of your mother. I have great memories of your mom at the beach house and in Rio Pinar, sitting around the table discussing our latest adventures. She was a wonderful woman and valued your family so much. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Marta
