John - We were out of town over the Labor Day weekend. When we returned last night, I saw your Mom's obituary. I know when I talked with you at your Dad's wake, you said you were preparing for another one. We send our condolences and hope that you and your family find peace.

Lucy, Carol, and John,
My heart grieves for you all having had both parents pass so close together - but they wouldn't have wanted it any other way. We should all be so blessed as to have a marriage and love like that of your parents.

I loved them both very much and memories I have of them and the three of you make me smile, even now. I'm sure the family reunion in Heaven is filled with happiness and joy.

May God Bless you and yours always.

Love,
Sandy (cousin DeDe)

Lucy and family,

Knowing that your mother has gone on to be with your father must be comforting. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you find peace in celebrating their lives. They were blessed to have had such a loving family to love and care for them before their transition.
