Lisa, I’ve kept you and your family in prayer since I learned of your mother’s illness. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. I’m sure she touched many lives in a positive way. You have always impressed me as an exceptional and caring person. I have no doubt that your mother had a lot to do with who you are and how you care for others. Sending hugs and continued prayer for you and your family.
