Dallas and family
I didn’t know your mother very well. I do know that our mother’s are a gift from the Lord. To have a loving and caring mother is more precious than gold. They are also priceless. Remember your Mom and the precious times that you had with her. She will always be close to your heart, because you are a part of her. I am sorry that I couldn’t be there for her funeral. Just know that your are in my thoughts and prayers.
May the Lord be with you all and comfort you in your time of sorrow. April Hudson Hildebrand
