Jim, my heart goes out to you, to Susan and to Mere. You all did the best that you could possibly do for Connie, and you should find some comfort in that. You have my deepest sympathy at this difficult time. This is a heck of a time of year to grieve. I know...17 years ago my brother in law died in a workplace accident the week before Christmas.

Sympathies. You have shared her, and kept her memory alive.

I'm so sorry. Light and rest to her, and grace and peace to those she leaves behind.
