Prayers for your Mom
Hi Donna,
Prayers and thoughts going your way for all to work out well for your Mom. Also, if you have not already thought about it, she may want to write down any questions she may have. We usually leave and then say "Oh ---" I forgot to ask him about this or that and you know we are not running back in there any sooner than we have to.
Sincerely,
Liz J.
