I have had the extreme pleasure of meeting your Mother/Grandmother on a few occasions in my life and she was such a warm loving person. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as God has called his Angel home. This parting however painful is only temporary and until you are again reunited may the Holy Spirit bring you comfort.
