Karen: I am so sorry to have heard your mother’s passing. When my father died 20 years ago, one of the local judges grabbed me in the hall of the courthouse and pulled me into his office. He said to me that “the memories that are too hard to think about now, will be a comfort to you as time passes.” It was difficult for me to understand what he was speaking of at the time, but since then, I’ve often thought how true his words were. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
