    Billie and family,
    I am so sorry for your great loss. I know what it is like to lose an angelic mom. I have to tell you that I loved your mom because she was one of those rare mothers (like mine) who never nagged at you when I was at your home. She was always sweet and welcoming, and I have thought of her as a role model for how I try to be for my kids and their friends. I loved being Lera’s FB friend. She was a ray of sunshine in my day. I already miss her. May God bless all of you and help you mourn during this difficult time. I love you Billie!
