Dear Resa and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose those we cherish and love. You are such wonderful people, so I know your Mother must have been as wonderful. I only wish I had met her. During your grief, allow some comfort in knowing you WILL see her again. May God send His Angels to surround and comfort you with His mighty love. Your Mother will live on in your hearts forever on this side, but now she is in glory without pain or discomfort. For this, I am thankful.
You remain in my thoughts and prayers. I love you.
