What a wonderful tribute. Bits of it reminded me of my mother, and I must say, I teared up.

Chris -- I absolutely know that your mom was an outstanding woman for all time because I know the wonderful son she raised. Your tribute to your mom was utterly magical -- factual, humorous, honest, generous, and filled with love and appreciation. I know that her spirit is free and content today in the knowing that she excelled in her greatest accomplishments! Lots of love and a prayer to you and the family.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Christopher. What a love-filled and touching tribute to your Mom. You marvelously and eloquently depicted her so that even those of us who never had the pleasure of knowing her could feel as if we did. My prayers and condolences to you and your family. May she rest in peace.

P. S. I love your book lists/reviews, and have read many a wonderful book thanks to your recommendations.
