Teal and Scott,

Death leaves a heartache that only God can heal and Love leaves a memory not even the Devil himself can steal. If someone you love becomes a Memory, the Memory becomes a Treasure. I know today that it's difficult to see beyond the pain and sorrow, but may looking back in memory of your Mom (the Treasure) help comfort you tomorrow. Praying that God continues to bless you and keep you full of strength and courage to make it through the days to come.
Love Ya Always and God Bless!
