    My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. I remember the first time Mark introduced me to his Mom. She was sitting in a chair by the front window knitting (if I remember correctly), so calm looking. I thought to myself…why isn’t this woman high strung and crazy after raising so many children right on a rocky cliff. I would have looked old and withered if it were me. I didn’t get to know her but what I saw that day was an amazing woman. I am so sorry for your loss.
