We'll Miss You, Mom
February 05, 2007
My mom passed away unexpectedly this past Friday morning. She had just turned 70 and was beginning to enjoy her long anticipated retirement.
Although a dear friend of ours will be officiating at mom's funeral this Wednesday afternoon, I'm planning on officiating the graveside service myself. Your prayers would mean a great deal to me, my two sisters, and all the grandchildren.
We're going to miss you, Mom.
My condolences on your loss.

Chris,
the church and Christ mourns with you in your loss. I will pray for you. I lost my mother in 2000 to cancer and it was difficult. Mom's are special. grace and peace in this time.

Chris,
Eternal Memory. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I did the officiating at the graveside of my Dad when he passed (he was 70 as well).
Love ya bro.

Dear Chris, I can't even imagine your loss! My deepest condolences to you. Not for now, but months down the line, I find the book Life After Loss to be a great resource. I've summarized the book here. Again, this is for months down the road, but so many people I know have found the book and the summary helpful that I thought I would include it. Now... May God give you strength and grace during this difficult hour!

May her memory be eternal. And may the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth be with you and your family.

Our condolences, too, Chris. What a lovely photo, and I'm sure there are countless memories it evokes.
