Debbie, the loss of a Mother is almost unbearable. It leaves a hole in the heart that now must be filled with all the great memories you shared together. The Heart is never ready, and the time is Never right to say Good-Bye. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories will help us cope, as well as our friends & family. I remember your Mother was so kind and thoughtful. My Mom loved her and spent many hours talking. My Mom also appreciated all the AVON products that she discussed with her as well as sold her. They truly had a special bond. I am praying for you and your family during this difficult time. She is in heaven now and God will be watching over her. Remembering your Mother and hoping comfort and peace will help you through this loss and sadness.

Love, Kimberly Hammill-Keresztury
