Dear Gwen,
I am praying with you and your family for God's strength and comfort.
Absent from the body but present with the Lord.
God gave your beloved mother a long life and stay close to him and he will order your steps.
Trust in the Lord and do not lean on your own understanding.

Dearest Jackie,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother, but you were a great daughter. You kept your mom so sharp and well groomed. Her eyebrows were always so beautiful because of you. You did an excellent job. God bless and keep you in His care.
