Karen,Kathy, and dear Carl, I love you all and even though I am far away during this time and cannot be with you in person, Bill and I will be with you in our thoughts and prayers. Know that mother's suffering and pain are over now and she is in a much brighter and happier place. We will miss mom but we have her beautiful memories of her lovely smile and beautiful being that which we knew as mother and wife. God bless all of you and may he comfort us all during this difficult time.

Girls, I am so sorry to see the loss of your mother. She was a brave soul for so long. I know you will miss her, but she is now in the arms of our Savior and relieved of all her ailments. Know that you will be in my prayers and thoughts.
