Barbie,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family especially today. It's a very difficult time when it comes to telling our mothers farewell -- even though we know they have gone onto their heavenly homes. We never forget the love of our mothers and it is with sweet sorrow that we let them go. My prayer is for God 's merciful comfort to be felt by you and your family during this time and the days ahead, and please know that I extend my sincerest sympathy. Julia
