So sorry for your loss , Your mom knew your love & dedication especially over the last years when you unselfishly spent time with her & instead of always complaining you would point out the good times & when you played your music to her. Life is harder without your greatest cheerleader but you know she has gone to Heaven and will be leading the daily cheers for you & the whole family! Prayers of comfort to you & the entire family .
