Thank you all for your kind words. I think I might add a few pictures to this post. I had to scan numerous amounts of photos for my cousin so he can make a mini photo movie with his Apple Computer. I have all of the capabliities on my Apple, but have no clue how to use the applications. I am glad someone in the family is Apple savvy.
Sorry to hear of your loss, Ryan. At least you were able to be there with her in the end.

I emailed ya, but in case it didn't go through because of the "internets" being invaded by the government, I too would like to send condolences your way.
