Kellly - I was so sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing. While I never met your grandma in person, the stories you told over the years about your grandma made me feel as though I met her. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rose and family,
I know how deep this hurts. Your love, respect and devotion for your mom was unparalleled and you did all you could for her. Take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering but is now in her perfect body, united with all whom she loved and who went before her; all who are at this moment showing her around her new home, her eternal home. Her perfect peaceful, happy home. Because we know and love the Lord, we can take comfort in knowing that this separation is temporary and one day you will be reunited with her too. Hard to wait through I know, but God will give you peace. I Love you my friend.

I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
