Please accept my deepest sympathy for I too know the pain of losing someone as special as a mom. May your family find comfort as I have in knowing that our loving heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will ‘wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more.’ (Revelation 21:4) What a wonderful day that will be!
