"Zoe and family, My heartfelt sympathies to you all on the loss of your beloved mom on this upcoming christmas holiday. Get out any videos you may have of her during the times when you miss her the most. It's great hearing their voices/laughter and watching their gestures/mannerisms. But make an original 1st as it will get worn out. May God comfort you all and in the days, months, and years ahead."
