The Easter Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I know she had a good heart. The times that I have met her she was always warm and receiving of my company. She told me how much the Easter Family loved and accepted Davin. I am glad she is not suffering anymore and I pray for the pain to be eased with her husband in the following months. God Bless, Debbie Ford
