Thanks for the friendly reminder - of course if Anne checked my (Rich) comments, she would have remembered meeting your parents -- then again, Jr Parents weekend at ND in an icy / snowy night was my fall (alone briefly) - hitting my head & St. Joe's Hospital "found nothing" in my Xray - though next day my black-and-blue eyes fit in with my New Yawker home - so I dispensed with wearing concealing sun-glasses indoors at the celebration. All the events at Notre Dame, from 1st day welcome to 1989 graduation were memorable - time flies.
Thanks, Jackie - for a thoughtful & reflective comments. We - Rich & Anne - vividly recall date & circumstances & thoughts when our parents passed away many years ago - even given our "senior year" status. Love, "ps" (by Rich) - we never met your Mom in person but have terrific pictures of your Mom with you and Marius, e.g. one is a "combo" we created, you & Marius at an elegant restaurant lunch or dinner - and your Mom at home with a delicious looking hearty spread - frankly, I'd opt for preferred dining ... with your Mom.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful and moving tribute to your Mom, Jackie. She was such a loving woman and I'm so thankful to have known her. We are thinking of you and your family.
Thank you, Jackie, for sharing such a personal and intimate memory of your mom's passing. I never knew your mother but with this post and the ones you've written before I feel like I do know her. Thank you for offering that opportunity to me and your other readers.

So beautifully written about a person and a day we will never forget. Hard to keep a dry eye while reading this. Thanks for posting!
A beautiful, bittersweet and heartfelt memory.
Always in my thoughts Jackie.
