Uncle Warren, some days have passed since Aunt Jane passed over. Time may heal wounds but there will always be an ache in the heart for a loved one gone. You have been a lucky man to have had the great relationships in your life. I will miss Aunt Jane's cards,phone chats, e-mails, and Christmas letters. Now you are "home" closer to family and we all hope to see more of you.

Uncle Warren,
I am saddened to hear of Jane's passing. She was a vibrant woman who loved unconditionally and endlessly. Your family was her family. She never forgot my birthday (or my children's) and I always loved her annual updates in her Christmas card! Jane has left behind a thousand moments that will live in your heart forever. May your heart mend and your memories stay strong. Please find comfort in those memories and may you also find strength in the companionship of those who share your loss. Jane will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. I send my love and heartfelt sympathies.

Mr. Roe, Cathy, Dick, Devin, David, Amy and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Having met Mrs. Roe and spoken with her, I know she was a very special and loving person. She was so blessed to have the last couple of days to tell everyone how much they meant to her. I know that a big piece of your life is missing now and she will be missed very much. May God give you the peace and the comfort that only He can give at this time. Bless all and everyone of you.
