I love you mom. You are finally with Dad and it fills me with such joy knowing you two are together. Heaven has a new angel. I miss you so much my heart is aching. I take comfort in the fact that God is holding you.

A second Mother, never a Mother In Law
A beautiful soul and a beautiful woman
Knowing you are pain free and able to move again, love always

Rob and Kathy,
I was so sorry to hear that your mom had passed. It is such a great loss when someone we love so dearly, and has gone through so much suffering as a parent, spouse or child passes. Please know that I am praying for you both so that you may be comforted as only our wonderful Lord and Savior can do. Please take great assurance in the love and mercy of our blessed Lord, Jesus! He loves both of you and your mom. May the days ahead be covered in his grace so that you can both mend from such a great loss.

I love you both,

Kath
