Dear Cora,
My deepest sympathy on the death of your beloved Mother. May God grant her eternal happiness in heaven as she is now safely home with Him. May God give you His peace.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Mary Jo Wagener
Sorry to here about your mother but we know she is with someone we all want to be with.
God bless.
There will be extra prayers tonight.
I am praying for you Cora my friend. I know how hard it is to loose your Mom… no matter how old you are or how much you wanted to see their suffering end. It is an ache not fillable by much of anything.
Someone told me when my Mom died and I was so lonely at Christmas time, to remember that at every Mass we attend, the saints of God come down when the veil that separates us from heaven opens at the Holy Holy Holy. She reminded me that my Mom would now be with them. It was and is great to imagine that she (and my Dad) are celebrating with us at every Mass we attend.
God bless you and keep you, Mary T
