I am so sorry for your loss, I know that these days are bitter sweet. Knowing that you can no longer look at or touch this lovely lady that has been a vital part of your lives. The sweetness comes in knowing that the love and salvation of Jesus has allowed her a home in heaven.
May God Bless you always
