Belvis,
Let your sorrow be a bridge not a barrier to the people that loves you. So many accomplishments, so very many successes, a wealth of hopes and dreams fulfilled, days and days and days well-lived and now a legacy to celebrate. May sweet memories of the gem that was your mother, encourage you at this time.
