Good evening beautiful!!!
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved mother, Ms. Bertha. I was talking to my mom and she told me the news. I am all too familiar with losing a parent but to us women, losing a mother is a different type of pain. Please know that my heart goes out to you during this incredibly difficult time.
Your mother was a remarkable woman, and I know how deeply she was loved, Tee and Mr.Roger.
May her memory forever be a source of strength and comfort to you, and may you find peace in the beautiful legacy she leaves behind.
I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
May God surround you with His love, grant you peace beyond all understanding, and hold you close as you grieve.
Heavenly Father,
We lift up Claudette in prayer. Comfort her heart and ease her sorrow. Let her feel Your presence in the quiet moments and know she is not alone. Embrace her with the same love and care that Ms. Bertha so freely gave. May Ms. Bertha rest in eternal peace and may her spirit continue to shine through her daughter. Amen 🙏🏽
With deepest sympathy and love. đź’•
