Sonya and family, my heart is broken for you all today. I know the pain of losing a loved one so dear to your heart. Mother has been gone for 4 years now and I miss her everyday. Your pain will subside and your tears will eventually dry, but your memory of your mother will live on forever in your hearts. Let that memory be the shining light that carries you through your darkest hour. This is not the end, even though it may feel like it is. You will see your precious mother again one day.
