There are no words we can say to ease the pain. We Love y'all! Really wish we could be there, your mom all ways had a big pretty smile and something nice to say! We Love her! We get to see her smile again in heaven! Love you!
Beverly and family, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing, but I know that you know, exactly where she's at. We can only imagine what all she is seeing and doing at this moment. My thoughts and prayers will be with you not only in the days to come, but in the weeks and months to come. I still find myself thinking I can just pick up the phone and talk to my mother, even after 20 yrs. No one can take the place of a "mama" is what my own mother once told me. I pray for God's comfort to fill that empty hole left behind by her absence. The landscape of your family is forever changed, but so is Heavens! Linda
