Pain tugs at my heart. I loved this lady! She was such a sweet compassionate, loving and forgiving person, full of joy, peace and could find strength and laughter in the face of anything put before her. Sam, I miss her all the time too. She told me you will make a great policeman one day, she said you'd be good at anything you wanted to be.( I think you will too). Chins up, be strong - love each other always. My heart hurts for our loss. I will miss her. She believed in God and I have comfort knowing we will see her again when we all get to heaven.
So very sorry for your loss.
