I send all my love and condolances to the Hammond family for the passing of your Matriarch
You can turn your back on tomorrow, and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow, because of yesterday.
You can remember her, only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory, and let it live on.
You can shed tears, that she is gone,
or you can smile, because she has Lived.

This being a time of reflection would bring those good time memories that will bring smiles to your faces and joy to your heart knowing your mother and how she lived and loved all. May the comfort of the LORD take you to a place of peace beyond all human understanding

My Deepest Sympathy
Coping with the loss of a love one is never easy, especially the loss of a parent. May you draw strength in the promise that God provides. (John 5:28, 29) In addition, Rev 21:3,4 states ...death will be no more. May all draw comfort from the hope of the resurrection. Looking forward to a time we will see our love ones again to share old memories and to make new ones.
Love,
