Cherrie, Shelva, Al, and all of the family,

Due to long-term illness of two family members, we had not been keeping in touch with your family, and had not heard of Mrs. Devine's passing away until last evening. We were so sorry to hear of your loss, and hope you have found comfort in your memories of one so dear to you. Remember all the good times you shared, and take comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering and is now with our Heavenly Father, where there is no pain and suffering --- only happiness and joy. May God bless each of you as you cherish her memories that continue to live in your hearts.

With love and sympathy,

Julie Devine
