Dear Jeri and family,
I am so sorry to read about your mother passing away. Even though you will miss your earthly mother,I am sure you are happy that she is with her Lord Jesus and preacher Bowen. My heart goes out to you and your family and I will pray that you're faith will carry you through as well as the fact that you cared for her in her time of need. We will always be sisters!

Dear Jeri and family,
May God bless you at this time with a sense of peace knowing that your mother is with Him even now. You honored your mother with your tender care and providing for her. She was a blessing to our Sunday School class and always had a smile, a hug and a word of encouragment for everyone. Your mother just beamed with love for everyone, she seemed so content with wherever she was! We know you will miss her very much. May God comfort you at this time.
