I was so sorry to hear about the death of your mother. She was a charming lady and I enjoyed being her neighbor. Unfortunately, due to a minor medical procedure I will not be able to attend the funeral today, but my thoughts and prayers are with you.

My heart goes out to you as you move through the next few days. My prayer for you and your family, is that Jesus will embrace you in his arms in this time of sadness. My prayers will continue as you take the steps to go on without your mom, the inspiration that brought you into this world and so carefully raised you to be the wonderful women you are today. May peace be with you and yours.
My heart breaks for you as you go through this difficult time. My prayer is that you all will be wrapped in Jesus embrace as you make this journey. My heartfelt prayers will continue for you and your family. I know you will miss her so much over the next months and years. God Bless.
We are very saddened to hear of your Mother's passing. She was a delightful, engaging woman and we are proud to have known her. She will be certainly be missed, but there are many who have lasting memories of her wit, love, and service.
Praying for you as you walk through this time. Your mom was a beautiful and gracious Christian! What precious memories you have to hold in your heart forever! As Romans 15:13 states, "May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
I am deeply saddened to loose Penelle in this life, but grateful that she has everlasting life in the arms of her Lord. Please know I will be with you in spirit during the visitations and celebration of her life this week. I grieve being unable to be there in person. Love to all. Patsy (her first of many beloved daughters)

I know you miss her and that this is a difficult time for you. Richard and I are thinking of you, and your family. Know that the happy memories of your Mom will sustain you, as the sad ones lessen although this may take time, sometimes a long time. We have been there too and know this is true. Hang in there.
With love, Jan
