Trish:
I am so sorry for your loss of your mother. I heard about this in the midst of a very recent loss I had in my life; and another impending one. The one thing that we can count on is God's arms as He will hold us when we cannot hold ourselves. I never knew your mother, yet she was that and so much more to many people in her life and my condolences go out to everyone who was touched by her. May God hold you and keep you during this time of grief and please be assured that you and your family are in my and many others' prayers. God bless you Trish. I love you. Amazing grace to you and your family.
