To Karen’s children and family, I am so very sorry. I got to know Karen a little since my Dad’s passing in mid 2016. She was my day to day contact with the law office as we worked through Dad’s estate. Karen was very kind and had a great attention to detail as she kept the paperwork in order and answered my questions during the process. I was heartbroken to learn from her, during one of our email communications, that she was sick. I pray that God would wrap his loving arms around you and reassure you that your Mom is now okay. He knows how you feel and is grieving along with you. I pray you will find comfort in Him as you walk through this and that He would send someone your way to help as your Mom so helped me through the toughest period of my life. God bless.

I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. Recently I lost my dear mother, and found great comfort in the Holy Bible, like at Isaiah 25 verse 8 - "The Sovereign Lord will swallow up death forever, and wipe away the tears from all faces." Also at Revelation 21 verse 4, we find God's promise to remove both pain and death. I hope these verses will give you a measure of comfort during your time of grief.
