  16. Tim and Pam,
    Words cannot express the emotions that are encountered at a time of loss. No time on earth is long enough to share with those we love
    or to prepare our hearts for good-bye. No matter how old we are,
    losing a mother is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know,
    but her goodness, her caring and her wisdom live on… like a legacy of love that will always
    be with you.
    Ellen Brenneman says it best:
    Don’t think of her as gone away –
    Her journey has just begun, Life holds many facets. The Earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched, for nothing loved is ever lost- And she was loved so much.
    I will keep you in my prayers.
    With deepest sympathy

  17. Tim and Pam,
    Our love and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. We know how much you loved and cared for your Mom and we pray that our Heavenly Father will give you peace and strength in the coming weeks ahead.
