Dear Susan and family: My heart if heavy for you in losing your precious mother. However, without a doubt, she is in paradise with our Lord. She told me one time at your house that she looked forward to throwing her arms around Jesus and telling him how much she loved Him when she got to heaven. She also told me on more than one occasion what a wonderful daughter you were. She felt very blessed to have you and I know you were blessed to have such a wonderful mother. My thoughts and prayers will be with you this week and in the weeks to come. God bless you all. Love, Terri
