Kerry, I so sorry for your loss. Mothers are one of God's most precious gifts and when he take them back it leaves a big void in our lives. Know that she is in his loving hands and know that there's another angel watching over you and your family from heaven. I pray God's peace and comfort for you at this time.

To My Daughter In law, LaToya, "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal". There is never preparation for death....that is when you have to claim Deuteronomy 29:29, 'The secret things belong to the Lord.' And this is a secret thing. No one will ever know the reason why this thing happened, this side of heaven. "Now I know in part; then I shall know fully". Just know I love you and will continually pray for you and your family. Be blessed. Love "Dear"
