Mom,
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May GOD hold you in the hollow of his hand.

We are sorry to hear about your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
