Thoughts and prayers are with your family. I was just thinking of Shirley and one of her rhythm and rhyme song and dance diddies. I haven't seen her in years but remember the love and pride she had for her children and mother.

Dear Sue, thinking of you during this time. Your Mom loved the Lord and He loves her. May that be your comfort. My favorite verse is Romans 8:28. May that also give you comfort. May all your memories be sweet.
