I had the greatest mom ever. I am sure that everyone says that when they lose a parent, but I really believe it. My mom was a protector, counselor, teacher, advocate, champion, and sometimes a royal pain in my rear. However, I am as successful as a husband, father, and professional because of her (and of course my dad). I will miss her very, very much, and my heart aches! Heaven gained another "red-head" on Saturday, I just know it!

Dear Don: I just saw Dad. He told me he will be singing for your Mom's funeral. I am sorry for your loss and glad to hear of the tremendous gain for having the Mom that you've had. You will be in our prayers as your Mom was in our prayers through her suffering and continued prayer in her new and everlasting journey.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mrs. Jackson was always so wonderful to my family. We enjoyed many picnics and pool parties as children in her home. She was also a good friend to my Mother. Your family will be in our prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand how difficult it is to lose a loved one. What helps me to cope is knowing the Bible's hope for the future. Acts 24:15 explains that there will be a resurrection of our dead loved ones in the near future. I always find this promise from God to be very reasurring. My condolences go out to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
