Judy,

I just wanted you to know my prayers are with you. I know what a comfort you were to your mom even though she moved far away. She looked forward to your calls every day and that was good. It kept both of you close to each other. I know she missed being away from you and the girls. You guyes were her lifeline-her excitment every day. It was good that you shared all of your life with her- that's what mother-daughter relationships are all about. I know you're going to miss her terribly. It will be hard not to be able to call her and share the litle things in your life. Just remember that she's with God now--in a much better place than here. She will be so proud to see how strong you've become. You're a totally different person than you were 2 yrs ago. You've accomplished so much. It shows in the way you carry yourself, the way you talk and the way you perform at your job and at home. This will make her very happy. Mom's always want something better for their children and she will be so proud to see that you've mastered life in some ways that she never could. She'll always be in your heart just as you'll always be in hers. Don't forget to continue to talk to her. I'm sure that as close as the two of you were she'll still be able to hear you--and if she has trouble, God will help her. You've seen the power of prayer now. Just don't forget to use it. God will comfort you better than anyone. If you still feel sad and want to talk you can always call me.

Love and Prayers,

Sherry
