Hello Mom, I truly miss you each and every day. My heart is very heavy with pain and grief; however, I know you are in a better place. I just need to get to that place, until then
It hurts to lay a loved one in their final resting place, but our Creator feels our pain.....we are not alone. The Bible mentions a time in which he will call and the dead will answer, reuniting us with so many we have lost in death. My prayers are with your family.
