Your family have my condolences. May the God who comfort all who mourn sustain your family at this time. Isaiah 61:1, 2. It's time like these we need to ask Him for strength and comfort. He is the "hearer of prayer." We have wonderful promise of the resurrection, with this hope we look forward to seeing our love ones again. It will be a happy day, when this promise will be fulfilled. John 5:28, 29.

Jeff/Jamie and all the Cairo brothers sorry to hear about your mom. She was always so nice to me when I used to come to the house when we were kids growing up. I can still hear her special laugh and she will be sadly missed.
