Tresa,

I wanted you to know that although I was not able to attend services for your mom, my thoughts and prayers are with you. God knows I can sympathize with, in that the loss of a loved one is profound. However, my consolation and let this be yours as well, is in the celebration of a loved ones life and times on this earth. The special moments, the laughter, the sharing and giving. Your mom will live within you for eternity. In those times that you find the physical absence too overwhelming, ask God for strength and direction. Be well and I will pray for you and your family.

To The whole family of Sue: My deepest condolences go out to you all. I was friends with Sue for many many years and I worked with her at the laundry when I was 15, she was 24. That was many years ago. But we were always friends. She will truly be missed but not forgotten. Peace, Respect and Blessings,

Tressa and family. Words cannot express the sadness I am feeling for all of you. I did not know your mom, but Tressa you spoke about her on a daily basis, so I learned alot about her, and felt like I did know her. There are no words that will ease the pain. Just know that alot of people are praying for you, praying that you'll get through this time, and come to a place of peace. Remember all the good memories of "mom" and share them often. May God ease your pain. love Tina
