I'm thinking of you all so much today as you prepare to lay your mother to eternal rest. I hope you know what incredibly faithful sons you have been and such an example to so many of what it means to be a son.
Your mother was truly a courageous woman. She loved you dearly and did what she could to be a mother. And she did as only she could.
May the days ahead and esepcially this night and tomorrow have some moments that will carry you through to the othe side of mourning to Peace.
A promise of my prayers and care
