Hi Elaine,
I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I will be thinking of you as you reflect on all the love and kindness she brought to you and your family.

It is with great sadness that I write to you about the passing of your mom. As we discussed, there is nothing like the relationship one has with one's mother. In memory of your mom and in honor of you Beverly, I send my thoughts and love to you and your family.

So sorry to hear about your loss. God cares so deeply about us that he has gone to great lengths to make the fulfillment of his purpose a certainty. (John 3:16). One of his promises is no more death. Another of his promises is that those in his memory will be brought back to life. May these facts bring you some comfort.
