I did order flowers for my sister In-Law Kim. She took care of our Mom for 35+ years.
I did order flowers, separately for my brother, her husband.
I did send a card to my rotten brother. He sucks as a brother & as a human, but he was her golden child.
My sister & I talked, a lot this weekend over various things. I am blessed by her

Thank you my DU family. I am blessed by you all
