Jane,
The consistent and loving care you gave your mom is in itself the best tribute to what an amazing person she was. She is surely at peace now and cherishing all you and your family gave to her. I hope you feel comfort in knowing you were unwavering and steadfast in your love and care for her to the end. She was lucky to have you as her daughter. God bless you and your family.
