Margaret and Family,
If only I had a magic wand to take away the intense pain your hearts feel. I do understand. It is so hard to lose someone you love with every fiber of your being. I pray God holds you all, in the palms of his hands: surrounds you with all the love, strength, and courage, to get through the difficult days ahead. Take comfort in knowing that your Mom is reunited with your Dad once more. One day you will look back on your memories and they will warm your hearts, and bring a smile.
I am truly sad for your loss......

XOXOXOXOXOX
