Dearest Kedrick: My heart and sympathies are with you at this time. I can feel your sadness, and pray for your wellness and that of your family. Your Mother was a very beautiful lady. She now joins your Father in the Kingdom of the Lord, and smiles upon you with blessings. Her memory will be honored by many, and mourned by many. In time, the love of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit will heal your grief, and will guide you on your future path. God bless you, my friend.
