I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of your mother. I will forever have fond memories of her as I grew up in Kannapolis. She would stop by our home and chat with her cousin, my mother, Pauline. May our good and gracious heavenly Father grant you all the ability to mourn with a gladness that only His children can achieve. We all will be reunited with her and others who have gone on before us. May Romans 8:31-39 provide you with a peace and joy that the world cannot possibly provide. Peace and love,
