Jamie, Sharri and family, my thoughts and prayers are with each of you. May God provide the comfort and peace as only He can.
Your mother was beautiful not only in looks but how she loved her husband, children and grandchildren. I know you have many precious memories of her that will last you a lifetime. In time you may find you laugh while remembering some of them and others you may find tears gathering in your eyes. Regardless of which, memories are precious - hold them near and dear to your heart.
May God bless each of you.
