Sorry to hear of your mother's passing, she was such a charming woman. She leaves a legacy few people can match. The number of lives she has touched must be uncountable. May peace be with you.

Joe and family,
We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved mother. You've told us a few stories of this wonderful Christian lady. Your family is a tribute to her. What a testimony you all are of her life as a strong and faithful Christian mother. She will surely hear the Lord say "...well done my good and faithful servant..."
