Sweet Helen, we are so very sorry for the loss of your precious Momma. Our hearts are heavy for your entire family, with our only comfort being, "We know the angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved one is safe in the hands of our Father". Please know we will never be far away if you have a need we can fill for you.
We never lose the people we love, even to death. They will continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make throughout the remainder of ours lives. Their love and teachings leave an indelible imprint in our memories to hold onto when we need to draw them near.
Jon, Matt and Heather although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory on all the yesterdays of your time spent with her help comfort you in all your tomorrows. Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in this difficult time of sorrow.
With much love and prayer to Mom-Mom's entire family,
