I'm so sorry for your loss. I've personally know the loss of both a mother and grandmother, and the pain can seem overwhelming. However, I found comfort in Acts 24:14 where it reads: "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
We will see our loved ones again! I hope this brings some comfort in this time of sadness

Dear Tanya and Family,
I remember your mom's beautiful smile and how friendly she was when I first met her. She raised a beautiful daughter. Cherish her smile.
