We were deeply saddened to hear about the death of your mother. Betty was such a kind and wonderful person. May God bless you and your family during this time and always. Know that God holds her in his arms and there is peace in her covering. As Charles Dickens wrote, " heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts."
