There are no words that can be expressed to give you comfort now; however I will leave this spiritual verse that I feel fits.

"Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord" (Psalm 27:14)

I know your mother's physical present will be missed forever by me and your family: she was a sister to me; however she LIVES spiritually within each one of us: her husband, sister, brothers, children,grandchildren and all of the others she helped raised forever !

God Bless the entire family! You will be in my prayers forever!
