Sarah,Hunter & Family:
The loss of your mother & grandmother is almost just too much to endure. This passage was shared with me during the of the loss of my own mother.

"A heart of gold stopped beating today, Two shining eyes are now at rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the Best."

I pray God gives you and your family strength during this time of your bereavement.

Much Love,
Betty Green
