Losing your mom is one of the hardest things–so sorry and sending a big hug!
As a child I have many fond memories of Avi and her family as she lived next door to us. Avi remained good friends with my mother and father until they passed away. I am sure that they are continuing there friendship in heaven. I hope that your wonderful memories of your mother will comfort you during this difficult time. May she rest in peace folded in God’ s arms.

I always remember how fond my father (Elmer Casey) was of Avi. He thought correctly that she and your father raised wonderful children! You are all in our thoughts.
My sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. I have fond memories of her and the family I will cherish always.
