I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a wonderful, wonderful person. I have to tell you that I think of her every time I make a chocolate cake. Many years ago, she gave my Mom (Marie Boivin) her chocolate cake recipe and my Mom made it for me for my 40th birthday (28 years ago). I've been making it ever since and everyone loves it!
