Dear Charlene,
I"m so sorry and I am here for you. You know it hasn't been long since I lost my nephew. I know it's not easy, but in time you will heal. Your Mom is in a much better place. Charlene when I met mom, I knew just where all your fun loving qualities came from. She will always live in your heart. She is at peace. " Death separates us for a time;Christ will reunite us forever " ( John 11:1-44 ) Charlene, we love you and will keep you and your family in prayer............. from Cooky and the Brim Family
