Alisa and Eddie,
I was saddened to hear about the loss of your Mother and especially sorry I could not be there for you.
When one is absent from us they are present with our Lord. Alsia, I pray that God will give you the strength to lead you through this challenging time. I know he has wrapped his arms around you, Eddie and the entire family and carried all of you.
Remember, your relationship with your Mom is not gone, it has just change from a physical to a spiritual relationship and she will forever watch over you and be with you.
Much Love and prayers
