Debbie, this may be a hard time for you now, but do know there is a bright future ahead. Just knowing your parents are at peace hand in hand with the Lord. They are never gone, just ahead of you and their loved ones waiting on the other side. I loss my mom in 06, but I get to visit with her so often in my dreams. It is so real and such a comfort knowing she is that close. Keeping you and yours in prayer, Love - Carol Martone
