Dear Pastor Debbie,
My heart goes out to you during this time. Your life has been an inspiration to me and I know your mom is in heaven and I imagine that God is telling her how proud He is of you and the work your doing. May we ALL prepare our hearts to someday be able to spend an eternity with Jesus and those that we love and hold dear to our hearts.
