Doug and Sharon Lynn, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I remember you all from the Hampton Days and will be praying for your whole family. It is never easy to lose a parent but I pray the memories you have will help ease the pain in some way. I realize that it won't help today but in the future.
