Dear thbkhd,
I agree with what zoax18 said.
This will take time.
I don't think you will forget your mom, but the pain you feel now will eventually diminish. It hasn't been but a few weeks since she died, and your world got turned inside out. The shock will resolve into peace. The longing to be home again will always be with you, and as you mature and go out on your own, will instill in you a desire to recreate the good things of your lost home, which is okay. You wont be with the family you are with now forever.
The scrapbook idea is good; you could create a virtual memorial for her.

One of many online memorial hosting sites. A small fee is usually involved.
I am glad to hear from you. You are one of the toughest persons I have ever met, whether in cyber-space or real life.
