Just learned of your mother’s passing and am sorry I missed the services. I have fond memories of her from my youth and appreciate her generosity toward the entire family. My mother recently passed away and I know how difficult it is to lose your mother. I will keep the family in my prayers, that God comfort you and give you strength.
Abrazos,
