Evan,

Sorry to here about your Mom. It's never easy to loose a loved one... specially a parent, but the solace in knowing that she is in a better place will hopefully be somewhat comforting. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Evan, my sincerest sympathy goes out to you and your family in this in this time of transition. We are never happy when loved ones depart on a journey and we cannot reach out and touch them in a moments notice. Be comforted in knowing that your mothers journey is one that was started a long time ago. The end of this journey, however, will be a jubilant time where you all with gather together again.
