    You are a dear dear friend who is suffering a great loss, for the loss of a mother is one of the hardest things we go through in our lifetime. Remember that we can never be sepeerated from those we love… because God leaves us with memories to hold and love they don’t pass away. In time, we realize that our loved one lives on… not only in a home beyond the setting sun but within our hearts.
