Tammy and Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of your Precious Mother. She was such a beautiful lady, just like her daughter. I personally know the intense pain of losing your Mother. You never get passed that pain. You learn to ask Jesus everyday for strength to endure the loss. Your faith will sustain you.
