Thanks folks. My mom was sick for many years. She left us on Wednesday morning. I was unable to make it to funeral because no flights to atlanta (delta) on wednesday. besides she was buried the same day as her condition was not very presentable. I wouldn't have made it to the funeral anyways even if I had gotten the flight the same day. I am glad I saw my mother alive recently. I rather remember her alive than having to see her taken away to cemetery. I still can't take away the images of my father being buried right before my eyes.
So thank you folks for the kind words.
