My deepest sympathy on the death of your mom. My mom (Mary Boltman) always spoke very highly of her. May you find comfort through friends, family and memories during this difficult time.
My deepest condolences. Please remember the comforting promise found at 1John 5:28 & 29, which states: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” May the God of all comfort help you to endure during this difficult time of loss, remember to “throw your burden on Jehovah and he will sustain you,” (Psalms 55:22).
