Oh Matt,
I am so very sorry for your loss. You, your mum and your whole family have been in my prayers for several months, and will continue to be so.
God grant you comfort and peace, and may your dear mother's Memory be Eternal.

I am so very, very sorry. I lost my mother a couple of years ago, so I have an inkling of what you're going through. May her memory be eternal!
Vechnaya pamyat!
Memory eternal!
Matt,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I will be praying for you and your family. May God comfort you and may you feel his presence and nearness during this time.

Thank you all for your prayers. I don't really know what else to say except, I know God suffers with us and does not forget his servants. There is consolation in that.
With the souls of the righteous departed give rest, O Saviour, to the soul of thy servant, preserving it unto the life of blessedness which is with Thee, O Thou who lovest mankind.
In the place of Thy rest, O Lord, where all Thy Saints repose, give rest also to the soul of Thy servant; for Thou only lovest mankind.
Glory . . .
Thou art the God who descended into Hell, and loosed the bonds of the captives. Do Thou give rest also to the soul of Thy servant.
Now, and ever....
O Virgin alone Pure and Undefiled, who without seed didst bring forth God, pray thou that her soul may be saved.
Deacon: Have mercy upon us, O God, according to thy great mercy, we beseech thee: hearken, and have mercy.
