My name is Carlein. I am a Bible teacher. I am sorry for your loss. A scripture that has given me much comfort is Revelation 21.4. which promises that one day death shall be no more. I hope this truth brings you comfort also.

I am so sorry for your loss of your mom Diane, she was a great lady whom I was privileged to get to know. Prayers for you and your family.
I will never forget how much she mad me laugh and of course loved all of her stories. Thank you for allowing me to be in your family. I know Mary and I are both better people from knowing her.
