I am so, so sorry for your sudden loss. My deepest condolences to your family. I was honored to meet Mrs Strauss (and Mr. Strauss) once at a Thanksgiving dinner at my darling Randy's home. I fell in love with them in a second. Such a loving couple!! I remember talking to Randy's mother about my divorce process. We were standing in the hallway. I was so impressed by her advice. I wanted to retain her as my attorney at that very moment!:-). We did have some good laughs though. I also knew Randy was very close to her mother. I remember a few conversations Randy and I have had in the past, where it was explicitly clear just how much her mother's advice and opinion meant to her. Mrs. Strauss reminded me then of my own mother who is the most strong woman I had known. I am deeply sorry for your loss, and I can only wish that time and all the beautiful memories of her will help with healing. Rest in Peace, Riitta Jaakkola
