Blessings to Billie’s family, especially Teresa, who I know.
The loss of mother at any age is difficult. It causes all of us children to reorient our lives from “beginning” things, birth, childhood, the many “firsts” of which she was a part, to the “ending” things, that we are the oldest generation now in our family, and our own mortality. The stress of grief surprises us in its strength and length. Because of the hope of the resurrection and our anticipated reunion with those we love, Christians area able to traverse the valley of the shadow of death with love for God and one another.
May GOD walk with you in this time in a way that you perceive divine presence and are comforted.

I just want to say my Nanny was a wonderful Christian woman. She could put a smile on your face just by hearing her sweet voice. She shared a special relationship with all of us that can never be replaced. She is everything wonderful of what a Grandmother should be. She is deeply missed by all of us and will never be forgotten.
I have so many wonderful childhood memories of Nanny growing up! There was never a moment that she didn’t make me feel loved and special. Nanny’s legacy of love will continue on!
You and your family have my deepest sympathy for your loss. The Bible promises the resurrection hope for our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. (John 5:28, 29)
