Kim I offer my condolences. I lost my mother in 1996 and I am sure you are suffering a grate loss.

I feel for their families and pray for peace to their hearts. I also wanted to share with my friends a loss a bit more personal: My mother passed away yesterday morning. Due to her illness and my desire to remain close to her, I did not join those of you who drove (or flew) to the St. George area to watch Columbia pass over southern Utah. I hope y'all will continue to invite me along for such events. I attribute much of my interest in space and astronomy to my Mom. She was always "game" for such things - from taking my brother and me to the canyons to watch Sputnik pass overhead to purchasing our first telescope, a Gilbert "80 power" (WOW!) toy. Anyone would be very lucky to have had or to have a mother like mine. God bless her. Kim A.
