I have attended about 13 funerals/memorials for close friends/family in the last two years, and the one thing I have take away was the fact that people don't outwardly speak the true value of someone until it's too late. It seems your mother was loved and valued by many, including all the lives she touched in almost two decades of young, needing children, and her whole life of teaching you and your friends.
The one other thing I took away, was when my godfather/uncle passed a few months ago, he was eulogized by a much older cousin, who paraphrased how my godfather/uncle would end phone calls/conversations, "It's already later than you think..." and that has carried with me each day, as something to remember, and hold in memory, get on with whatever it is out there that you want, need, or think you just gotta do, because, it's already later that you think.
