Beryl and family,

You are in my thoughts and prayers!

And, "Thank You", Beryl, for being there for, and with Aunt Vera during so many of these major health issues.

She would always smile and seem so happy when we visited with her.

Sometimes I know that she must have had to look very deep down inside to find joy!

But she had so much faith in her Lord and Savior.

And she did find joy in her life.

You were a big part of that joy.

She loved her family and friends deeply!

At last she is with Uncle Luther and all of her loved ones that had already gone on to heaven.

Thank you for all that you did to try to make her life more pleasant.

I know that she loved you dearly.

I never visited with her, or called her her, that she didn't bring up your name.

You were as close to a daughter, as she could have ever been blessed with.

Please find peace and comfort in knowing that she is at last in heaven with the remainder of her love ones.

Where she has longed and prayed to be for so very long.

I hope that I can be as strong a lady as she has always been.

I love you, Beryl
