Dearest Zellie and family,
My heart goes out to you in heartfelt sadness, as you say "Farewell" and "See you later" to your dear Mother. No matter the age of your dear one, she was someone who cared for you throughout her life and that is what you will remember for the rest of your life. Please read Numbers 6: 24-26 in your scriptures. That is my prayer for you and your family.
Love and Peace, Elizabeth
