Lucy and Lindsey, my heart aches for you as I have walked in your foot steps losing my dear Momma when I was only 34. Please know you both are in my prayers for peace and comfort with your tragic loss. As you come together to celebrate her well lived life on Monday, I pray the joy of the Lord will be your strength; and as you grieve her passing, the surety she is meeting her Savior, face to face will provide you solace.
