“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” - Proverbs 31:25-30
“Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you” - John 16:22
