Tracey,
May the peace of God bring you comfort during this time of sadness. I will continue to keep you and your family in prayer in the coming days ahead. I pray that God will give you laughter when you want to cry but also the comfort during those moments of tears falling down your face. Just know that He will never leave you and He can’t and will not come short of His Word. He is a Comforter in ALL things so give Him all your cares for truly He can handle what you can’t handle in this time.
Peace and Comfort as you celebrate your mom legacy and the precious memories you had with her.

I was sad to hear the news of your mother and understand the struggles you have had over the past few years. Sixteen grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren made me smile! What a blessing she was to so many, and I know you will miss her greatly. Take care of each other. Sincerely,
