I just found out last night about your mom passing. She was a beautiful woman and a wonderful teacher. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Mom would want us to embrace this wisdom: “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.” ― Martin Luther King, Jr.

My sympathy goes out to your family and friends at this time. May you find comfort in the scriptural promise at Isaiah 25:8; a promise made by a God that cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Rely on God for comfort in the days ahead and may the love of family and friends carry you through your grief.
