Pa -

It will be one year ago tomorrow that you passed away. I think of you every day especially now, at this time of year, when you would be making your home made wine. Louie has been making the wine for the past week. I am so proud of him & grateful to you for this task that he has learned from you.

You are in my prayers & thoughts every day.

Love, Mary

Pa - one week ago today you left us to go to a better place.
A wonderful father-in-law you were.
I believe in my heart that you are happy to be where your are now, with Ma & Anna and the rest of your relatives that have gone before you, but your family that you have left behind will truly miss you.

Love, Mary

Mike & Family,
I am sorry for the loss of your father. I have found comfort in the following passage and I hope it does the same for you.
Ted Balcomb

May your heart find consolation
in the promise of Christ, our Savior
That there is another place,
- beyond imagination –
Where we meet our loved ones again;
…. for the bond of love is eternal.
