So sorry for your loss. She was a great lady and Aunt sorry I didn't get to see more of her. But now she will suffer no more and she and the Golden Girls will be together again and they will welcome her with open arms. Cousin's I'm not trying to be funny here, I feel your pain and I love and miss you guys so much. My thoughts and prayers are with y'all

We were so sorry to hear about your mother's passing, Trish. I know how close the two of you were. I pray you will find comfort in just knowing without a doubt that she is with our Lord above. Blessings to you and the rest of your family during this hard time. You know we love you.
