Dear Ricky,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet mama. It's sad to lose loving family members even when we think we know our time with them is short.
Remember, God turns to us as we turn to him. Thank him for the time and memories you have of her and pray without ceasing. Love, Kathy Renfroe from work.
