Dear Aunt Escalene,
When we are faced with losing a loved one, it is hard to get a great deal out of written words. I am sure that God has much bigger plans for your Mother in Heaven than he did here on earth. I am sure that her mission on earth was completed and now she is able to walk through the Kingdom with our Lord. May God bless you and your family as you deal with the death of your mother.
Kindest Regards,
Michael, Treasea, Mikie, Jenny, Raymond, Alex, and Jackie Dorsey.
