It is with sad heart that I share with you my mother's passing this weekend. I had taken care of her for the last 8 years and while her health was not perfect this was still a surprise. I will miss her greatly.
Thank you to my friends and family that have reached out to me. I appreciate the support you have given.

===========================
Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome
Has many sonnets: so here now shall be
One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me
To her whose heart is my heart's quiet home,
To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee
I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome;
Whose service is my special dignity,
And she my loadstar while I go and come
And so because you love me, and because
I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath
Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honored name:
In you not fourscore years can dim the flame
Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws
Of time and change and mortal life and death.
- Christina Rossetti
We'll keep you in our prayers.
