Look for the ‘Signs’
Bob – You have a been a great friend over the years. Losing a mother is truly a life changing event. I’m sure you have collected many great memories over the years that you and those close to you will cherish. Rest assured that your mother will be leaving ‘signs’ for you in the months and years to come as you continue your own journey through life. Some ‘signs’ you will recognize immediately, some will take some time. Make sure you take a minute to reflect on these ‘signs’. Your mom may have something important to say.
Teresa and I will keep your mother in our prayers this Christmas Season.
Bob & Teresa Gedeon
