Bev, I am so sorry for your loss. I know you were anticpating this, but I am sure it still is a shock to you. Your mother was beautiful, and looks so young!! I don’t think I can make it to the visitation or the funeral. I lead my Bible Study class in Seymour on Tues. night, and then we leave Weds. AM for a little family vacation while the kids are on fall break. I’m so sorry to miss it!! I’ve been praying for you, and will continue.
