    Carol,
    I am so sorry to learn of your Mom’s passing. It is very difficult losing loved ones, especially your parent.
    What we need to remember is that they are never truly gone so long as we hold their memories close to our hearts. I pray that God will give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
    Love and prayers to you and your family.
