My husband and I would like to express our sincere condolences to the Family. May we continue to have hope in Gods promise for our lost loved ones. That promise is recorded for us at Revelation 21:4 and psalms 37:29🙏

Lyn I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. It is a very difficult time when a child loses a parent. I know I did not know your mother, but I know you and I know that you are a good man with strong integrity and I am sure that was a gift from her. I will remember you and your family in prayer.
