Stacey,
You are indeed in my thoughts and prayers at this time. As you encounter ALL that is associated with the passing of your MOM, give thanks to GOD for His special gift called "PRECIOUS MEMORIES". Having experienced the passing of my MOM last year, I have discovered that re-opening my gift of "PRECIOUS MEMORIES" on an "as needed basis" brings much comfort and joy to my soul. I am praying the same for you and your family...
Continue to look towards the hills from whence all of your help cometh...
Love and Blessings Always,
Minister Norvita D. Bell
