Sonia, Chryss and Charlese. I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. In 2nd Corinthians, chapter 5, it says that For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down, (that is, when we leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.

An unknown author once said, perhaps they are not starts in the sky, but rather, openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pour through and shine down on upon us, to let us know they are happy

Cherish all of the moments you had with your mother, and when you look up towards the sky, I hope you find peace knowing that she is in Paradise with our Savior.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.

Our heart goes out to you...
Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all. Prov 31
