    My Condolences to your family on your loss.People say that death is part of life and that it touches everyone at some point in their life that may be true. But it's not what our Creator intended for us. I found comfort in God's word and I pray you can too. God promise to resurrect those who are asleep in death in the future, not only does he have the power to do so but he has the desire to. Romans 6:23 For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord. May sweet memories continue to surround you and bring you comfort.Deepest Sympathy

    Myra Jane - I hated reading about your mother's passing. It is never easy for us to let them go. I certainly miss my own Mom. She and your mother were the same age. There aren't many of the elders whom we grew up around left these days. May God bless you and yours as you move forward without her and may good memories bring you comfort and peace.
