With my deepest condolences, I send all the love and prayers your way. I lost my mom to cancer and no matter how much I wanted her to not be in pain anymore it never made her loss any less significant in my life. I pray that you and your family can take each day one day at a time and cherish the memories that you have had with her.
Warmest regards, Andrea
