the Morales family are very sorry for your loss. there is nobody as special as a mom. you are in our prayers guys. tommy and cathy and the kids.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my prayer. May your beautiful mom Rest in Peace.
We are so sorry to hear of this terrible loss. It shouldn't be shocking when we lose a parent because we all know that moment is coming but somehow it always is. The greater the love, the more unexpected and the deeper the loss. I hope you find strength in one another as you always have as well as in the devotion of the friends and family that love you. Count us in.
