Pat,
Here are lots of those hugs and squeezings you need.  I am praying for your
mom and for you.  I know how hard this kind of news is to take.  I know,
too, what it means to your mother.  I went through it with my mom and dad.
I can only tell you that I am and will be praying for and with you and
asking God to bless your mom and give here peace with Him.

Ned
