So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

My mom was the most amazing mother that a girl could ask for in this life. She served many and loved all. Anyone who crossed her path left feeling like they belonged. I am so thankful for all of the wonderful memories I have and for the stories of her that so many have shared. She impacted thousands of lives.
May she rest in peace and come to me in my dreams often. I love you to the moon and back mom!!!! Miss you SO MUCH!!
