It is always hard to lose someone you love, especially when it's your mom who is your close friend and companion. You and your family are in my prayers as you walk through "the valley of the shadow of death." God will comfort you and give you peace. Your mom is in that cloud of witnesses and is cheering you on. It will get better. I pray God's love, peace and strength comfort and swallow you. Love you.....
