You were a dutiful and loving son and you will be fully rewarded for your care and love to your mom.
Here is something that will give you an idea of what your mom is doing in Heaven. She will be busy as she would want to be.
Theologian A.A. Hodge quoted in a book entitled The Glory of Heaven by John F. MacArthur, stated the following:
Heaven, is the eternal home of the divine Man and of all the redeemed members of the human race, must necessarily be thoroughly human in its structure, conditions and activities. Its joys and its occupations must all be rational, moral, emotional, voluntary, and active. There must be the exercise of all faculties, the gratification of all tastes, the development of all talent capacities, the realization of all ideals. The reason, the intellectual curiosity, the imagination, the aesthetic instincts, the holy affections, the social affinities, the inexhaustible resources of strength and power native to the human soul, must all find in heaven exercise and satisfaction.
I hope this will give you the comfort it gave me in thinking about those that I love so much and long to be with, and wonder how ¨they are doing.¨
Gracia y paz,
Bert

I was so sorry to hear of your Mothers death I know you will miss her. I always looked forward to seeing her at homecoming, she always spoke to me and was always glad to see me. I prayed for her everyday . She would always ask about Ronald,we thought a lot of you all. It is our pray that God will give you and the entire family peace as you where she is because we know she loved the Lord. We will continue to remember you all in the days ahead in our prayers. Look forward to seeing you at Homecoming. Take care and God bless each of you.
