Sorry to hear the sad news. She sounded like a great lady who lived a full and interesting life and she also raised a good son. All my best thoughts are with Ace & you and his family at this difficult time.
Sounds like Ace's Mom was quite the woman! Strong, yet feminine...a nice combination.
May you all gain strength from the memories of your times together and may peace fill the empty space her parting has left.
After the wake, Fitzy and I stopped by the Esses Street Grille for a bite. We sat next to Ace's mom's hairdresser. We ended up chatting all through dinner. She said great things about her... said she was always her most well dressed client!
"Essex" that is...
