My thoughts and prayers to Mrs. Rouse's family. Losing a family member and especially a mom is so heartbreaking. Mrs. Rouse had such presence and was such a wonderful person and also dressed to the nines! My love to the family.

My sincerest condolences go out to your family, it's never easy losing someone in death. May you take comfort in God's promise found at Revelation 21:4, which says "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” This verse brought me peace when I experienced loss, I hope it can do the same for you. May the memories you have give you strength during this difficult time.
