Tanya and Taylor - What a beautiful woman your mother is! Mothers are such an important part of our lives and I can't imagine the hurt you may feel over losing yours. However, be confident that your Mom has been joined with our Lord and Savior and is now enjoying a world filled with light and praise. Glory to God! May your grieving be short and your joyous memories long...
