Don,
I want to share my heartfelt condolences at the sudden death of your mother. May her soul rest in peace. Having lost my mom less than four months ago, I know full well the grief and sadness you are feeling right now.
I think that the loss of one's mother is by far the saddest event of anyone's lifetime. There is just no other loss that measures up to this one. But knowing your mom as you did, I know that she wouldn't want you and your sister sitting around grieving but rather celebrating the wonderful life she led. I'm sure she had few regrets in living the full and successful life that she did.
I'm sure that everyone who knew your mom in wishing you peace and comfort as you face this very sad time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know your faith will comfort you, my prayers will be for you and your family to find the peace and strength that comes in knowing that a loved one has gone to their eternal rest.
In Sympathy,

Don,
I am sorry for your loss. Know that God would not put more on you than you can bare. I am praying for you and your family. I never met your mom but reading others posts lets me know that she was a very special woman who was blessed and she richly blessed the lives of others. The Lord has said well done thy good and faithful servant and now she is resting with him. Again, I will continue to pray your strength in the Lord and pray that the Lord will give you comfort. May God continue to bless you and your family.

My prayers to the Suber Family,
My sister was one of Mrs Suber's foster kids. I use to spend the night all the time and as a teenager right out of high school i use to babysit for her. Mrs Suber use to be my foster mothers hair dresser (down stairs in the back room of the basement). She was a great lady and although i havent seen her in years she was always in my thoughts. Matter-of-fact, i talk to my foster mother often and we were just talking about her last week. Much love to the family and Mrs Suber RIP.

To the Family of Ms. Suber,
I first met Ms. Suber when we did missionary work in Ghana, Africa about 5 years ago. She was friendly, loving and always made us laugh. She welcomed my husband and I to her home many times and she taught me how to make the best collard greens. Her countless hours of service at church and to her foster children inspired others to serve unto the Lord. We pray for God's peace and comfort over the family during this time.

Twyla:
It was good speaking to you the other day. We both know that your mom is resting in the bosom of Jesus' arms. Know that my prayers are with you and Zion during your time of bereavement. As we said on the phone, although we know that mom is in a wealthy place with Jesus, it still doesn't lesson the pain. Know that I'm praying your strength in the Lord and my prayers are with you, Zion and the entire Suber family.

Twyla,
We haven't seen each other in a long time but I have talked to your mom on several ocassions at FBCG. She was a God-send to us when we needed someone to care for our twins, Brandon and Brian. I will never forget all of the times we spent at her house laughing and talking. She loved my daughter Jasmine just like she was part of her family. I will miss your mom greatly. Take comfort in knowing that there is no doubt she is in the presence of Jesus, forever.

I was saddened to hear of the loss of Sister Suber. She was a vital part of our mission trip to Ghana, W. Africa. It was another demonstration of her giving and caring spirit to all she came in contact with near and far. She will be missed, and we pray for your strength in the days ahead.
