Dear Pastor Lin and Flo,
We were so sorry to hear about your mother going to be with the Lord. How wonderful it was for you to be with her in her final moments. Please know, that even if we are far away, ya'll are in our prayers and we are having sweet thoughts. Listening to you talk about your family and seeing the pictures in your home, we know personally how you are feeling. May all you touch in these next few days, come to know our Lord and Savior as you do.
