Trinette and Terrance,

With deepest sympathy, my thoughts and prayers are with you. The happiness and joy that your mom brought to both of you will live on in her memory.
The Bible says "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." I pray that you will find peace and comfort in these words and that God will give you the strength and courage to go on.
