    I’m so very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was a wonderful woman who was a joy to be around. She’s resting peacefully now and will forever be in your hearts. As hard as it is to lose someone, holidays make it even harder. I’m sure she would want you to still be merry and just remember the joy and laughter she would bring. Much love to you all and prayers of comfort and strength as well. ❤

    I am deeply sorry for your loss. Our loving God promises to be by your side especially in this very difficult time. Please take comfort in these words of Psalms 34:18,19.
