Dear Trina,
I am so very sad to learn of the loss of your mother. I have so many wonderful memories of times spent with you and your parents.
Your mother with her beautiful smile and sweet words was always such a joy to be around. I will never forget her special egg sandwiches.
The angels are smiling now that your mother is among them. I pray that God's promise of eternal life will bring peace to your heart.
