To the Broyles family,sorry for your loss, may GOD give you his LOVE, PEACE, and STRENGTH in this time of sorrow. It's hard losing a love one and especially when you have only one parent living, but we don't have control over that. You just take one day at a time and let yourself mourn. There is going to be times when it hurts just to hear her name, see her favorite foods, things she liked to collect, shows she liked to see. You take it one day at a time and eventually you will smile when you hear her name, see things she liked, and that's when you are starting to heal. The pain doesn't go away it just get's easier to handle the sorrow. I know cause i lost my mom in 97, but let family and friends help you heal. May she R.I.P -|-
