Michael, We are very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I'm sure this ordeal has been very taxing on your whole family. When you remember your mom in in the comming years, I hope that your image of her, in your mind , will be one of her in a robust state, and not one of her in failing health. We hope that your Dad's positive attitude will get him through this trying time and allow him to focus on the many blessings that he still has to be thankful for.
