Praying for you and all connected to your mother by kinship and friendship for comfort and strength as you prepare to celebrate her well lived life. Fond memories are a source of strength in times of loss so hold those close. I remember you and your Mom from Germany. Sincere Love in Christ, Barbara J. Maultsby Canada (Brian Maultsby’s mother)
