Dearest Doc Linda, my thoughts and prayers are ever present for you and your family, especially for today, the viewing and the homegoing service tomorrow. It is going to take a toll... Your mom has finally cast off her earthly body and it's limitations. She is alive and well and ever present with you, she lives on in the many wonderful memories created over the years for such a time as this. May all those memories strengthen and sustain you and provide with comfort during this time. The many friends, family and loved ones will hold you up in prayer. You are blessed. Again my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
