Dear Jenn,
I didn't personally know your mom but I wanted to send you and your family my sincere sympathy at your mom's passing. We may never know the exact cause of the complications she encountered during her surgery but know that your mom went into this w/ an educated knowledge of the risks we all under took to achieve our goals.
Losing any member of your family is never easy, but when it's your mom you feel as if your world is shattered, I know, I lost my mom last year in May to lung cancer. I know the pain your feeling now is terrific and you feel as if your world and you heart will never be the same but as the saying goes, time does heal all wounds. I know this is something you don't want to hear at this time but know your mom had the best intentions, she wanted to be around and healthy for you and any grandchildren she may have had.
May GOD lay his healing hands on your heart, guide you and keep you in the comming weeks and months. Prayers are being sent to heaven for you and your extended family.
Sincerely, Donna Traub
