I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. There are no words that can erase the empty space you feel now but time and your loving memories of her will help. Talk about her often, tell stories about her to the grandchildren and share your memories. This will keep her close forever. God bless you.
