Carol (& Family),
My heart goes out to all of you as you mourn your mom's death. I am so sorry I missed the visitation but please know that you were in my prayers. Dee was such a beautiful lady, inside and out, and I know she is now with the Savior that she adored and sang about. I have times that out of nowhere, I think of my mom (passed on 12/10/12) and sound like here when I clear my throat and even sometimes when I sing, sounding like she did when I was growing up. That's why she, her twin, Eunice and I blended so well when we sang together. Nothing like that family harmony and nothing like knowing that we all are part of the family of God and will all sing together in God's choir one day. You take care and know that your mom and dad are now together and both free of all pain and sorrow.
In Christ,

Carol and Family,
I am so sorry I missed being there at the visitation but you were all on my mind and my heart was saddened to hear of Dee's passing. May God's comfort be upon all of you in this difficult time. It's been a year and 1/2 since my mom passed and not a day goes by that something she would have said or done doesn't go through my mind and heart. I even clear my throat sometimes and it sounds like her and my heart smiles because I know that she is where she is supposed to be. Take care & rejoice that Dee is now free of all pain and sorrow!
