I am sharing that we said goodbye to my mom, June Patinkin, Sunday at the age of 95. It is never easy to write your own mother's obituary, but it's also a way of holding onto her - so I am sharing that too. She was the best mom a son could hope for. 🙏.

"I am not prone to prayer, but when you touch this ancient stone, you can't help but ask God for the things you hope for in this world, and a part of you believes that just maybe, this is among the few places on Earth where he is most likely to hear you.".
