Charles,
I am so sorry to hear of your Mothers passing. It has been many years since I've seen Gertrude and had heard that she was declining in health.
I regret that I'm unable to attend her services but I am unable to travel at this time due to medical problems.
May God accept her into His home for her eternal rest.
