"Jackie, I’m so sad for you with the passing of your sweet Mother. I know you were close and will miss her. I’ll be praying for you and your family. It’s comforting knowing that our spirits go on to heaven for all who believe in Jesus and so you can be confident that you’ll be with her again one day. Still, it’s difficult to have that void now of her love and care of her family. Love you my friend. I trust God to comfort you."
