I’m so sorry about the loss of your mother. I know how it hurts to lose a parent, and now that both have gone on to be with the Lord, Arnold and I just pray that God will give all of you a special peace and comfort in the days ahead. I remember your mother’s sense of humor, her fun-loving spirit, and that pretty smile. We knew she had been sick and now she is well and united with other loved ones. God bless all your family in a very special way.
