Michelle, I had no idea that you mother had passed away and I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I know after all she had gone through she is in a better place, but I know for those of us left behind it is the hardest. {{{HUGS}}}
Dan is such a wonderful person and it doesn't surprise me that the came to your mother's wake. I too had almost a similar experience at my father's funeral, our very own DISer Otto's Doll was there and I was able to meet her. It wasn't my best moment and I didn't know she was there until the very end so we could only visit for a few minutes, but it was very nice to see her there. Our DIS family is almost like our extended families and there are some wonderful people here.
Again, I am so sorry for you loss.
