    Flowers, I am so sorry. You got to spend some quality time with your mom and I loved reading how she loved it as much as you did. My condolences.

    I’m so sorry Flowers. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting mama flowers, just seeing the happiness and joy on your face when you would talk about her was priceless.

    Next drink I have, I’ll be raising my glass in her honor. :beer:

    So very to hear about the passing of Mama Flowers. I never met her in person, but felt like I knew her through your stories about your travels together.

    Sorry @Flowers for the loss of your mama. But now she's in heaven looking down on you and hopefully waving that grand jackpot wand your way for your next trip. My condolences.

    So sorry too hear. Good health or bad, it's never easy. I wish the best for your whole family.

    Good news is that you have all those great LV trips and much more to recall when the feeling strikes.

    The next LV trip may seem a bit tough, but the positives will outweight those feelings.

    All the best.

    So sorry about your mom's passing. I've never had the pleasure to meet you or her, but I always love reading your post. I could tell you had such a special bond with her. I hope you find strength and comfort in the coming days.

    I’m so sorry for the passing of your beloved mother.
    I lost my mother on 12/31/18, she was my best friend & my favorite gambling buddy, I can empathize with all the emotions you’re probably experiencing.
    We all experience grief in our own ways, yet there is a common thread we all share & I hope this quote helps you as it did me:
    “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

    So sorry to hear about Mama’s passing :( I have not met her, but I felt her strong presence like a light that shines so brightly in your TRs. Her spirit lives on forever.

    It takes a lot of strength for you to share this devastating news, and I hope you’ve been taking care of yourself, Flowers.
