Dear Tracy & family, My heart goes out to each and every one of you during this difficult time in your life. Losing my mother was the hardest thing I have had to go through so far in my life. There aren't enough words for me to convey to you that life will get better in time but I can say that you will learn to find comfort in knowing that your loved one is now with Jesus, in a new pain free body, in their new forever, beautiful home waiting onus to join them. We will and what a sweet, glorious day that will be. Hold close to your heart all the wonderful memories you shared and they will always live through you. I love you all and will always be here for you if you need me.
