Scott, Lynn, Stacy, Shane, Stuart, and Steven..
I don't know how it feels to lose a mother but, I do a father. Now you've gone through the loss of both. I'm so, so sorry for your loss.
With this pandemic you can't even have the shoulders to cry on or the hugs from so many friends and family. I'm sending you all many hugs and tears..
Just know that you're all in my thoughts and prayers.
We all await the time when we'll see the promise that God holds out to us. Rev. 21: 3, 4 tells us that there will be a time in the near future when there will be no more pain or death.
Once again I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mom… hugs and tears…
