I have already expressed my sadness in loss of your mama. She was the older sister that I never had. We shared SO many things that will and has gone to the graves with us. She was a marvelously "rock of gibraltor"for ALL of her family and non-judgemental as the consistent and constant adviser in so many areas of our lives. Her faith in God was unfailing and her life exhibited that. Having been a part of your family for some 25 yrs, I can relate to your loss. We WILL missher but know without any shadow of a doubt that our loss is heaven's gain. We can rest assured that "JESUS DOES IT BETTER THAN WE EVER COULD HOPE TO DO". Our love and prayers will be with you in the days ahead as you adjust to your lives without her presence.Our love to ALL of you.
