To the family,
My prayers are with you. As I heard of the passing of Ms. Esther, my mind took me back to our childhood, I remembered my mother bringing us down to your home place in Turkey Run and we would spend the entire time running out doors as they talked. I can still hear Ms. Esther, Ms.Teeny, and Mom talk, laugh, and reminisce. I remember her smile. May God grant you strength and peace.

Few things in life will ever affect you more than the death of a parent. Not only do you have to endure the intense pain of loss but you are also left to face a future that will likely be quite differnt from what you had expected. The Bible assures us that death will be no more. May you find that such promises will help you to cope with the loss of your mother. My deepest sympathy to each of you.
