Karen and Nancy,
Your Mother was so proud of you both! I will always remember the day she held my hand as I held onto my mother´s hand during her passing. This was a comforting moment to me and my family. Your mother fought the fight, kept the Faith, and now is safe in the arms of Jesus. We will truly miss our dearest friend.
