Dear Marie - I lost my Mother almost 2 years ago at 94. Remember all the good times - it does get better. Think of you often.

Dear Marie & Family:

You'll never get over the loss of your mother; but slowly the joy and great memories of her life intertwined with yours, will blot out all else and slowly you will accept and know that she is in a better place.

Dear Millie and Marie,

No need to add more to what we already know. She had a wonderful long healthy life, a loving husband and two loving daughters. As is said in Ireland: "Ar Dheis De go raibh said." May her soul be on God's right hand side.
