I didn't have the honor of knowing your mother, but I know that you, your father, and your sisters loved her very much. I know that you all miss her very much and the grief you are carrying is an overwhelming burden. So, I will pray that Jesus will be with your family and give you all the strength to carry such a heavy broken heart until the day you are all reunited.
