Terry, I am so sorry about your mother. My mom passed away 11 months ago. Even if you know they are in Heaven, it's still hard. Think of the good times and know she is happy and dancing with Jesus.

It's never easy to lose a mother, no matter how old you are. I know it's been a struggle lately seeing her not at her best, but I'll be praying for your family as you come to terms with this great loss.
