How sad to lose a loved one no matter the age. We know that your dear one was loved and will be missed. There is one thing that will bring the greatest comfort to you. God has promised mankind this. "Death will be brought to nothing", according to 1Corinthians 15:26. God has made arrangements to remove sickness and death away from all. (Revelation 21:4-5) Most importantly God does not lie. (Titus 1:2) Any of your loved ones who have died can live again. (John 11:25) Rest assure God has the power to do all things. More comforting information can be found at jw.org

I can't help but smile on the inside when I think about the legacy your Mother is leaving behind. She taught a lot to her children and her children's children. Think about all the generations that have been and will be blessed by the life she lived.Your Mother will be greatly missed and we are sorry for your loss.
