God has call once again one of his darling angel home again, he doesn't make any mistakes. Your mother was a sweet angel, and I will always remember her for her pretty and warm smile. Keep looking up, and know that God will put no more on you than you can bear. You will meet again and until then keep trusting in God and hold on to his unchanging hands. Love you all.

This is never easy, having been where you are now, it is a void that no one can fill, but God will slowly heal your heart. You and your family remain lifted in my prayers. I pray God's blessings and his healing upon you and your family.
