Dear Uncle Sammy and Family,
Aunty Josie was a very special "Lady." She always had a hug and a big smile for everyone.
St. Augustine says, "We never lose those we give to God." So
remember, a Mother's love is never forgotten and is always with you, as are the wonderful memories you all shared.
With Our Love and Our Prayers,
Ken and Lorraine
