    I am so sorry for your loss. You will miss your wife and mother and I will miss my little sister. I took care of her when we were growing up and I will miss that. Although all of our hearts are breaking now, we can rejoice in the fact that she is now with God and Jesus and the rest of our family who went home before her. She will be forever taken care of by the Father. May God comfort you and give you his peace. I love you all and God Bless.
