Sarah, Belinda just told me about your mom’s passing and I can’t tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Your mom was always so kind and sweet to me when we were young. I remember how much I liked to hear her laugh and how she was always so patient and calm. Those qualities, among others, always made me feel so comfortable spending time with your family. Please share my condolences with the rest of your family – they too were always so welcoming and kind to me.

Wes,
I’m sorry for your loss. Your mom cut my hair for years until she retired. We could always share about our faith. I was a busy mom, in the military. She used to have to spray my face every once in a while. She was a precious soul.

It was sad to hear of your mom’s passing. But I do rejoice as I think of how her spirit is blessing the heaven-lies. Her smile was a true delight, and I surely enjoyed my few visits with her. May you be blessed with many wonderful memories of her life, which was so-well lived.
