I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother.
I truly wish I was there to be able to attend the funeral and see you all.
You all turned out well – so I believe you must have gotten your strength and tenacity from her.
May she live on through you and your kids.

My prayers are with you – thinking of you all.
