Sonya, Joella & Fmly,

My heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your mom. One consolation is to continue to keep her alive in your thoughts of happy times and fun places. I know that has helped me get by. I know your mom would want that for all of her cherished children, loving family and friends.

Sonya and Family,
It is with a heavy, heavy heart I write this and send my condolences to the family of Dorothy. May her entire family find peace at this most trying time. I have found peace in the following prayer and I would like to share it with you.

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little but not too long
And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me-but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends you know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me-but let me go.

God Bless you all.
