I am very sorry for your loss. Life is a beautiful gift and how special that Ms. Maxine had such a long time to share with you. Even so, death is always a distressful time. Even our heavenly father calls death "an enemy" at 1Corinthians 15:26. God promised that "HE will do away with death forever and will wipe away the tears from all faces-Isiah 25:8. May these promises comfort your heart during this difficult time
