Dawna,
So sorry for the loss of your sweet mama. The pain of losing a mom and dad is a pain that never really goes away, but God gives a bit more comfort each day,a little bit at a time.
Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
One day you shall see her anew, in Our Heavenly Father’s Kingdom, but God will carry you in the
meantime.
Lots of love, Shelley Slinkard
