Amazing grace, how sweet the
sound that saved a soul like me. I
once was lost but now I'm found,
was blind but now I see. Twas
grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace
appear the hour I first believed.
When we've been there ten
thousand years, bright shining as
the sun, We've no less days to
sing God's praise, than when we
first begun.

Susan it is with heartfelt sadness that I learned of your mothers passing. I always admired her cheerful way and her leadership. There is an emptiness that only those who have lost a close relative can understand. My sympathy, love and prayers go to you and your family.
Love,
