Betty, though your heart is heavy, and you grief the loss of your mother, remember you carry her within your heart and she is with you in spirit until you see each other again. In the meantime cry when you must cry, miss her because you will, but know that God our heavenly Father is there to carry you through this time. Betty you have been a wonderful, caring and devoted daughter to your mother, it is what we do here on earth that matters. Love Gloria & Bob Garcia
