Sal, sending condolences. So sad to hear how your Mom suffered, but admire her pluck and great attitude through chronic pain. Thank you for sharing all, including the great photos.
Interesting to hear your thoughts, relative to our group conversation about aging parents. Patience really is a virtue, and something to be practiced. I would have had the same exact arguments about lasagna dishes!
I am thinking that it is a small gift for your Dad, maybe to be appreciated later, that the move was done before instead of after this terrible loss.
