May God continue to keep you in your time of sorrow. Psalms 84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. C-Ree has moved on up a little higher, she is a doorkeeper in Heaven. Family stay on the battle field you will see her again.

It is a sad and disheartening occasion to separate on one level from someone who has walked every step of your life's journey with you. When a mother passes from this life to the next we are left to adjust to the never ending spiritual connection that has always been shared. May you hold in your heart and mind the fond memories and live in the wisdom rooted in your spirit. May the peace of the Holy Spirit rest upon you and yours.
