I never met your Mom, but I am sure she was very, very special.

Be glad you were blessed with someone like that.

So sorry for your loss, Steve. Well said Spyder.

Steve,

Very sorry to hear about your loss. May you only have sweet memories. We didn't even have to know your Mom to realize that she had to be a wonderful person. Her imprint was left on a terrific guy.

Hang in there pal,

HB

I, like others here, got to meet your Mom at Saratoga for Sumwon's race. Her being there added to make the day extra special.

No words can soften the loss right now. But you might get comfort later on, knowing how your Mom, and you, affect each one of us. You and your family are in our thoughts. Take care.

I'm so so sorry for your loss Steve. As has already been said so beautifully, when a mother raises someone like you, it shows that she herself was quite clearly a wonderful human being. I never had the fortune to meet her, but I'm sure if I had I'd have been better for it.
