Angie and Lillian
It is only now that "bubba" and I have learned of your mother's transition. As a great woman of faith, we are sure that you will continued to be comforted by all that she instilled in you and all the love and care she showed to those whose lives she touched. We don't have words to express our condolences. Just know that we love you and were blessed by knowing her.

Angie, my dear friend,

I was speechless for a moment when you told me your mother went home to be with the Lord. I thank God for the blessed opportunity of knowing your mom and I know heaven just received one of the most special angels. I have no idea what you must be going through in losing what I think is the single most important compass in my life. I know your mom was that to you, too, and with this loss comes so many layers of heartache. I am so sorry for your loss.

Angie, you are a reflection of your mother in the way your treat people with respect and empathy. Not to mention the way you make everyone feel loved. Remember, when you feel alone on this journey of losing your mother, I want you to know that I am here for you whenever you need a hug or just someone to listen as you reflect back on the good times you had with your mother, remember that I am just a telephone call away.
