A mother’s love is irreplaceable, which makes losing her to death an incredibly painful experience. I know right now you carry within your heart a dull and lasting ache where you once felt love and security, so it is important you continue being happy as your mother always wanted for you. Know that I am holding you close to my heart dear Andrea.

My husband and I would like express our sincere sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Margaret. Although we hadn’t had the opportunity to meet Margaret personally we do understand the pain of losing one so dear to our hearts. We would like to share with you comfort we have experienced from Gods word found in 2 Corinthians 1:3,4. Our Heavenly Father is truly a wonderful source of comfort, for he is always there for the broken hearted and he truly cherishes you, especially now in your time of sorrow. ( Psalm 34:18, 1 Peter 5:7) Please take a few moments, share your memories with those who surround you, for the memories shared are the ones most truly cherished, may they bring you comfort and peace as you begin to heal. Take care of yourselves and each other during this very difficult time.
