    My mom just left for a better place

    I’ve known that her end was near for a while. I got the phone call about 4:50 this morning while I was walking into the office. On my way to the office I knew something wasn’t right. I felt it in my spirit. As I entered the building I got the call, my mom had passed. I’m at my apartment now in New Orleans preparing for the trip home. The weather here is terrible so wish me luck.
    I’m only waiting for the weather to get a bit better then I’m on my way. I’ve got a long drive in front of me.

    My condolences.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    You've not only lost your Mom, but also your life long best friend.
    So sorry, drive safe.
    My Mom is 93 and in declining health, so I too will soon feel your loss.

    The loss of either parent is gut wrenching, but your mother seems more so. My sincerest condolences. Keep her in your heart always.
