My sincerest sympathies and condolences to you, both. I lost my Mother in May.
Sorry about your mother, too.
I told Creek this story and should probably put it here too. I registered my mother to vote a few months ago, and had to go see the township clerk in the township where her assisted living place is to get it done. We were looking for her voter registration card from her previous address and found a card saying she was a poll worker a few years ago. The clerk liked that so much, he decided to just go see her himself so she could sign her forms. When he got there, he told her that her room was his old kindergarten classroom. Turns out he was running unopposed, so even though he is a Dem, she voted for him.
