Hi Orrin,
Although i only met your Mom a few times, i could tell that she was the kind of parent every that did the very best she could for you. You are so fortunate to have had her with you for such a long time, and that is what you need to focus on at this time, as difficult as it may be.
You are in my prayers Orrin, may G'd comfort you at this difficult hour.
Linda
