Ron, I'm not a religious person, but I believe very strongly in the power of love. Just as you remember your mother in a loving light, I'm sure that she she's your mother, after allalways thought of you that way, as a loved one. It is regrettable that you didn't have a final farewell, but this tie that you loved one another in life; that your thoughts of one another will always balance towards love this will bind you for all time. Peace to you.
