A mother’s love knows no bounds. From the moment you're brought into her life, she is continuously giving, nurturing and showering you with her care and affection. It is because of this special bond that makes imagining your world without Barbara feel unfathomable. But as many sadly know too well, when your mom actually leaves this earth, it's worse than anything you could have thought. Although this day of celebration may turn into a day of mourning and nostalgia, and although your mom is no longer with you in a physical sense, her love will forever live within you.
