Dear Lorraine & Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of your dear mother and grandmother. A Mother and Grandmother will forever have a special place in her children's and grandchildren's hearts and memories. Your dedication and great love for your Mom was very evident by the way you cared very deeply for her and were by her side until she closed her eyes. May you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and I will pray that you may be comforted and find peace and solitude in your fondest memories of your beautiful Mom.
With sympathy & love, Cindy
Dear Lorraine & family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was an amazing and courageous woman and the seeds did not fall far from the tree! While there are no words to comfort you at this time I found some that I would like to share with you.
"You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love that you shared."
You will probably never reach a place where you don't miss her but you will feel more at peace as time passes. She was so loved. God bless you all.
