Heartfelt sorrow on hearing of the passing of your Mother. Mothers teach us everything we need to know to navigate life. What they don't teach us is how to navigate without them. I pray that the memories that you visit alone or share with others will bring you comfort, reasons to smile and knowing that she is still there with you. Love lives on forever, it will never fade away, for, in our hearts our loved ones are with us every day,
Sincerely,
Naima Abdul-Halim
