as i was reading my Sunday paper, i came across the obituary for your mom. With it not being a common name, I proceeded to read it and saw names that i recognized. As a small child in Middleville, i remember your mom being a loving and kind woman (as were all of you in the family). It has been many years since seeing anyone, but I still have memories. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you! Randy Eggers - .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

I'm sorry for your loss. When we lose our loved one in death, it is considered the most difficult time in our life. However, there is loving comfort in Psalms 55:22 that encourages us to ‘throw our burden on God and he will sustain you..’ Yes, no matter what you are facing, God is always there to help you get through it (1 Corinthians 10:13; Isaiah 40:29-31). I sincerely hope that these promises from the Bible bring you a measure of comfort during this difficult time.
