I was sorry to hear the family had lost its matriarch. Please accept my condolences. There is nothing like a good relationship with family and friends. May their love and comfort be a constant at your door. Most important is our relationship with GOD. I pray that you continue finding strength in him and his word. I pray that he gives you peace.
