Dear Sharon H.

I'm praying for you.

I pray for Peace and Comfort for you and your family during this time.

It's always hard loosing our Mom.

God will lift you up, and hold you in the Palm of His hand.

He will never Forsake You!

I still miss and think of my Mom often.

I did not get to see her when she was Dying. She did not want to see me.

At that time, when my Sister, Sherilyn told me that, I was really 
hurt, but now, years later, I understand.

Hang in there, Loving One. We all love you!


Thanks much.

Many Blessings,

Lovings and Squeezings for you!
