Marie, I know your heart is broken . Your mother was tired and her earthly body was wore out but praise God she is home now and she has a new eternal body, one that will never grow old. Her suffering is over and she is rejoicing with God and the angels and loved ones that she has missed. Take comfort in knowing that she will be waiting for you and someday you will be reunited. May this and the many precious memories you have give you comfort in the days ahead. You will be in my prayers.
