Diane & Family:
Saddened to learn of your Mothers' passing. I know first hand the pain of saying goodbye to my Mother for the last time here on earth. I'm sure it is the same with you but, although I miss her everyday, God seen it was best for her to come HOME and rest. As the days continue here may you find comfort in memories you shared together and God grant you peace, love, and grace.
Sincerely, "Rico"
