I am truly saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. I can not begin to imagine the heart ache that your heart endures. She was a proud mom of her boys – And she raised three wonderful young men. You have been in my prayers since I heard of her passing and I will continue to raise you up in prayer as you mourn her loss. I pray you are able to dig deep in your faith and look to Jesus as you endure this heart ache. I hope you share stories and find joy and laughter as you remember and talk about your mom. She is proud of you and loved you dearly. Hugs and Prayers!
