Funerals aren't a good substitute.
Our timing was good. Mom passed away early in the morning of the 8th. She no longer has to suffer. May she rest in peace along side my father.
In my cup... memories.

Condolences & warm wishes my friend! You had a rare experience of being able to say farewell face to face with a loved family member, even though separated much of the time. Savor those memories.
