You have my sincere sympathy on the death of your Mother. I'm sure she had a great life here on earth. Now she is blessed to be with our Lord. In reading the obituary, I know that she had a wonderful family too. I remember her as a Beautiful Lady with kindness. Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all during your time of grief.
Love, Karen
