Talking to you, updating you on what’s happening with Kairo, the family, anything I think you would want to know, makes me feel more connected to you. Sometimes, I find comfort in just sitting quietly with you to think and pray. I miss you terribly but my heart is at peace. Visiting your grave has become a joyful and peaceful experience that brings me comfort and keeps your memory alive and strong. ❤️” Lynn concluded.
