Bill,
Know that your Christian friends will be holding you up before the Lord and knowing that this most wondeful person by all accounts that I have read would most definantly have known her Lord was with Him the moment she drew her las breath and we are only be sad for us and the short time of separation until we meet again. Death seems so final but we are most assuredly promised a lifetime of eternity with our loved ones. Your Mother no longer suffers, only us that remain … we sure do miss them but it is only temporary … what a day that reunion will be! I do know the pain and again, the Farmer’s are lifting your entire family up. Our deepest sympathy and just continue looking up for strength.
