Mom said her final goodbye to this world this afternoon. We expected it was coming, but I don't think we truly ever would have been prepared to lose her.  Thank you to everyone who has reached out over the past few weeks and months, asking how she's doing, sending flowers and stopping in to see her. Mom was always a quality-over-quantity person, and if you were her friend, you meant more to her than you could ever know. 

Mom didn't want a viewing, and we have decided on a small service for close friends and family. We will reach out directly with details once things have been finalized.
