Marion,

I truly believe that you will receive this message. I am so sorry that you had to endure 23 years of pain and suffering. It just does not seem fair, but I pray that you can now rest and be at peace.

Again, may the Lord lift up His Countenance to shine upon you and give you Peace.

I believe that our marriage was a wonderful trip.

Go with God,

Love,

Pat

Dear Tim, Shanon and Steve, and family:

We are so saddened to hear of Aunt Sita's illness and passing. Your Mom has given us so many rich and wonderful memories which we treasure. Even in the face of difficult times Aunt Sita's joy and contentment in life were genuine and very contagious. Just being around her made one feel as though all was right with the world. Her artful storytelling transported us to places and events of the past, history that would be lost to us except that she shared it with us in such a colorful way! Aunt Sita was a comforter, encourager, and she always cared more for others than herself. Shanon and Tim, may God pour out his grace and peace on you in this very difficult time. We will be thinking about you daily.

With much love and sympathy,
Don and Sheryl Hanks
and family

Tim,
I'm so sad for you and your sister. I wish I knew something to say to make you feel better. As much pain as your mom had the past several months many blessings came out of that time and now your mom can rest peacefully. I hope that you find comfort in those blessings during this time.
