Dear Jill, Jody and Amy, When my mother died it was a very difficult time for me. When I came back to work your mother and I just got back to work, business as usual. At one point during the day we were speaking and I called her mom. It wasn't on purpose it just came out. I knew how she felt about any phoney terms of endearment. But she just looked at me and said it's OK, everything will be OK. The tenderness in her voice and in her eyes told me everything I needed to know about Jean. Then I said to her, you like me ,you really ,really like me. Then she called me an ass and hit me. God I will miss her. Good-bye MOM.
