Kim & family,
My prayers are with you,and I know all to well how you are feeling at this time.I lost dad Dec.1 2005.But just know that your mom is having the best Christmas in Heaven With Jesus and has no pain what so ever.
There is a song called Dancing with the Angels by Monk & Neagle that we played at dads funeral and it is so beautiful and I find so much comfort in that song.
I love you all.
