We are so very sorry for the loss of your “MOM” a wonderful woman! (I could go on and on about NaNa Magaret) .
I know that anything that is said to you at this time will NOT help with the pain and sorrow that is in your heart. The one thing that you can think of is that NaNa Margaret and your “DAD” are once again together and very happy! As well as, NaNa Margaret will ALWAYS be with you (and your family) you now have two (2) ANGELS to watch over you, so I would say that you are VERY, VERY BLESSED!!
