Thinking about and praying for you during this time!
Prayers for the family at this difficult time.
So sorry to hear this news. Thoughts and prayers for Bob and the family.
*My sincere condolences. I was a college classmate of your Mom. We kept in close contact until about five years ago. I dearly loved her and the world was a better place because of her. Eternity has opened its arms to her.
Love,
May Vinci
