John and family,
So sorry for your loss, I know how much it hurts to lose your Mom. They say time heals, but it's the memories that help you through the tough times. Prayers for the family, if you need anything don't hesitate to let us know.

To my cousins it's a difficult time for you all, you have family still here to lean on, as most of us have lost one or both our parents all too recently. But knowing they are out of pain and joining those that we and they all loved make my heart feel a little less sorrow. But there will be those time when it hits you like bricks. But we love you all help each other and if you need anything you have lots of family!!!
