To Stenae and the Family of Mrs. Richardson,
I know it is hard to lose a loved one, especially during the holiday times; but your memories during the holidays will be of the good times that you had.
A mother is a precious person, one who cares and nurtures us until we can do for ourselves. They hold a special place in our hearts. I suffered the loss of my mother many years ago.
Just remember, weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning. God will see you through this just as He has done for me and so many others.
I am praying for your peace, comfort and I offer my sincere condolences.
