Tracy,

I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I too lost my mother 2 years ago and the pain and heart ache is unfathomable at times. May you find comfort in your lifetime of fond memories you had together. Remember she is a part of you and will always be with you.

Take care,

God Bless your family at this time of lose. Be comforted in knowing that "To be absent from the body, is to be in the presence of the Lord". 2 Cor. 5:8. She and Vera are together now.

I have faded childhood memories of Alma, but knew she has been battling illness. She was lucky to have a family like you all to support her in illness.

God Bless.
