Last time we saw you Frances, you mentioned that your mom was at the nursing center. I knew she had been in declining health for a while, but it never is easy to lose someone you love so dearly. Know that our prayers are with your family at this time.

I am sorry for your loss. I don't know your family personally but wanted to express my sincere condolences. It is difficult to deal with the death of a loved one and for that reason God invites us to throw our burden upon Him and He will sustain us. (Psalms 55:22). So prayer and supplication will help you to deal with your loss and knowing that soon God will wipe away all tears from our eyes and death will be no more. (Revelation 21:4)
Again my deepest sympathy
Pat
