My sympathy on the loss of your mother. Pina and I were friends when we were both in high school and I have very fond memories of time at your home. Your mother always made me feel very welcome with her warmth and kindness and of course amazing food. Although it has been many years these memories are close to my heart. May she rest in peace.
