Rachel, may the same Hands that Touched, Protected, Guided, and Kept, Your Mom; Now Covent You!! So Sorry to hear of the Separation that You and Your Family are experiencing, but; I KNOW that The Need; was GREATER IN HEAVEN; than the want, to stay on Earth!!!! The "MASTER JEWELER", had a Piece missing from Formation, and sent Special Instructions; to REPORT NOW!! MOMS was Obedient, and Surrendered Her Most CHERISHED POSSESSIONS; to take Her Rightful Place in Glory!!! One Day, She will Deliver the Importance of the timing; to All of You; and Embrace You ALL, just as She did for a multitude of Years! Until then, Be at PEACE; and know that She is Smiling in the Presence of The "LORD"!!!!
