My sincerest condolences to Jennifer and her family. Your mother was always kind to me in what were difficult circumstances not of her making. I am sorry to read of her passing but at least she is now with my dad who I know she missed very much.
“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.”
