Diane, I wished I had gotten to know your mother and you long before now...neighbors these days don't take the time to get to know each other. I am sorry for your loss and know your mother had a long life and now can rest in peace. You were a faithful and good daughter to her and I pray that gives you peace in your heart. God Bless.

It is normal to grieve over the death of a loved one. Jesus' disciples mourned the death of their loved ones. (John 11:33-35, 38; Acts 8:2; 9:39) Instead, we view it as a time to show empathy.Romans 12:15.
