[Bonnie's Mom]

I am so very sorry for your loss. I prayed for you just now and will continue to pray that the Lord comforts you in the days and weeks to come.

I can't say that I know how you feel, because I had children your age when I lost my Mother. But I do know as a Mother that even though I am still young I tell my children that if something were to happen to me today, I do not want them to spend their lives grieving for me. I want them to be happy when they think of me, to think of the good times that we have shared, and the memories that we made...and I know in my heart that even though your Mother may have never gotten to say those words to you, she would want the same for you. I pray that you will find comfort in knowing that even though she won't be here in body for you at all the milestones you have before you, she will still be there with you in spirit.
