XD,
I'm sorry I'm just seeing this now. What a horrible horrible thing to happen.
I can only echo everyone else's sentiments and tell you how sorry I am for your mother and you and your family.
Although words don't comfort too much, and it's repeated by everyone, thank God nobody lost their life. I too will pray for your family and that people continue to reach out to help, especially during this Christmas season.
God bless you all.
