My mother passed away at 2:20 this morning, she would have been 93 on August 1st. She loved to hear me play and sing, I could never make a mistake in her eyes. She loved God and taught me the right way to live, and she was ready to go. Even when we know it's coming, we're never ready.

Darvin,

I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. It is never easy to see them go, but it is good that we know where she is today. That is what life is all about, and she has made it.

You and your family are in my prayers.

Jack

The hardest thing in life next to losing a child is losing your mother. I have been through this and it is miserable. May God comfort you and your family during this most difficult time.

Darvin,

It sounds like your mom was the kind of success that I hope to be considered someday, when the time comes. God bless her. May your family, friends and Lord comfort you in her passing.
