Shawn, your mother ALWAYS had a beautiful smile! Because of your mother’s faithfulness, Jehovah can ‘make a reply to the one taunting Him’ (Prov 27:11)! Though u’ll miss her very much, her integrity is OUTSTANDING! We’ll soon be reunited during the resurrection with our dear mothers on a paradise earth! Then, we’ll never have to worry about the heartbreaking effects of death again (Revelation 21: 3,4)!
