Terry, I am so sorry for your loss... I have rooted for Alex's success for as long as I've known you. There is nothing that can articulate a mother's loss of a child... No one can fully understand a mother's lament... Please know you and your family are being prayed over. God bless and keep you. ~ Michael Rice

I am so sorry for your great loss. It is always so very hard to lose a loved one in death. God understands your loss and is near to all those calling on him in prayer. May you look to God for comfort to endure during this most difficult time. (Psalms 145:18)
