Gladys, I consider myself so blessed to have shared breakfast with your Mom literally months ago. What an incredible spirit and what zeal, passion for life. She was also so very proud of you and the convictions you held for helping people less fortunate and making a difference, creating opportunities for a better quality of life. Her eyes just danced with pride in your success and commitment to the cause. You will truly miss her and there are some hard days ahead - but every moment that you miss her is a reminder of her life and the love you shared for one another. I will keep your family in my prayers - but especially you. God understands when no-one else does.
Proverbs 3:5&6
