My sympathy to the Skelton family. There is no greater pain than the lost of a mother.
The Skelton family is one of love. I never saw so much tears at a funeral. I pray that all of you continue to love each other.
May her soul Rest in Peace and may God provide her family and friends with the peace and comfort they need in their time of sorrow. The Lord gives and he takes. Blessed be his wonderful name.
