I was sad to hear of your mother’s /grandmother’s passing but it turned to rejoicing as she is up in heaven, healthy and with a great mind again. Her smile at church will be missed but we carry all the wisdom she left behind as a Godly woman.
I’ll never forget walking by her condo and she would wave at me as I walked by to work with a couple a few doors down her smile would always brighten my day.

The death of a loved one is the most devastating experiences a family can face. At times, the loss may seem unbearable. Please know that there are those who care about you and your family during this difficult time and more importantly Psalm 34:18 tells us that “God is near to those that are broken at heart. We pray that Jehovah the God of all comfort is with the family during this difficult time of grief. Our prayers are with you and your family.
