    Dear Becki, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God’s love and peace surround you, and comfort you, during this time. The loss of a mother is a life-changing event (my mother passed earlier this year), give yourself time, space and the grace to navigate through the days, weeks, and months to come. When the time is right, please reach out and let’s get together for lunch. God Bless.
