Mavi & Family I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. My prayers go out to all of you. Cindy and Johnny told me to tell you that she is very sorry for the loss of your mom. She said she will be praying for you and your mom and all of your family. Your mom loves you and she is going to miss all of her children. Keep me in your prayers too. I'm so sorry that I can't go the services. I will be praying for all of you guys. Your mom isn't suffering anymore. She is in heaven with God and Jesus. She will be watching over all of you guys. Treasure good memories that you spent with your mom. I miss my mom very much. May God Bless You All! May God give you comfort and peace at this time of your lost loved one.
