You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. Cherish your  memories and may they bring a smile to your faces and comfort to your hearts. Pour out your hearts to God in prayer and he will help you heal. Psalms 147:3
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Margaret, I'm so sorry to learn of your Mother's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time. It is joyous to hear of her wonderful testimony for The Lord, that assures us that she is in a far better place and resting with our Lord. We can say with Bible Truth that it is far better to be absent from this body and be present with The Lord. May she rest in peace.

Hello Aunt Martha! I was just thinking about when I was 8 years old and you were scolding me for something I did and you said...I am your mother, your second mother.  I am more than just Aunt Martha. Those words stuck with me throughout my whole life. I will miss you dearly. I just can't stop crying. May the angels protect you forever. Stevie

I like to express my condolences to the friends and family. Loosing someone we love is never easy. Sometimes our close friends and family don’t even understand our pain. Fortunately we have a loving God who does and knows exactly what we need. Turn to HIM in prayer. He is the God of all comfort and wants to help you through this. 2 Corinthians 1:3.4 that says praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God. I hope this is a source of comfort for you.

You have suffered auntie long enough, 
You were brave strong and tough.
The battle you fought was long and hard, 
But it’s okay auntie let go and let God.

It has hurt all of us when you left that day, 
It left me broken hearted with nothing to say.
I don’t want to be selfish say please don’t leave, 
Because I did not want to hurt or grieve.

I know in my heart you are in a better place, 
But I swear im going to miss your beautiful face.
I am going to miss the talks we would have, 
And the stories I would tell that would make you laugh.

God just needed you to come home, 
Yes we know it has made your family sore.
You will always be remembered every single day, 
From the smile on your face to the things you would say.

You have taken your space in heaven right where you belong, 
Right up there with Charles, Grandma, Diane, and my mom.
Yes we all know that we need to be strong, 
But through our family your memory will live on.

You don’t need to fight anymore just let go and let God, 
While you were here on earth you did your job.
You did your part to keep family together, 
that’s why you will remain in our hearts always and forever. 

Forever Loved will forever Be Missed~ ️
