Oh, Dave, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. But how beautiful were these last cherished moments with her. It's wonderful for you to share this, because it's such a poignant picture of God's love and a family's love--a sad time, but also one of hope because of His promise to be reunited. My prayers for His peace and comfort go out to you and your family in these coming weeks and months.
