Kym and family-
Know that you are being lifted up to the Lord in prayer during this difficult time. Praying that as you share and laugh remembering fond memories that your sorrow lessens. There is no greater love than that of a mother for her children. You will miss her but her legacy of lessons will live on. Her physical body has passed but her spirit of love, understanding and hope lives on.
