I'm so sorry for your loss, but take consolation in the fact that she led a beautiful, christian life. She was always giving. Even in her last days as shown by her many volunteer activities. She and Malcom couldn't have raised all their children any better. Based on her life, I know she will be in heaven. I will be sending some prayers her way for her to intercede for me. Again, my sincere sorrow for your loss.
