Dear Linda,

I am a friend of Ellie D., and she has told me about your wonderful Mother (and you!) over the years. I am so sorry for your loss, & I know you will miss her terribly....but your tears will dry, and you WILL see her again when we all get to our true home. Earth is just a brief drop-off/testing site in the big scheme of things! Your Mother is so fortunate to have such a caring daughter as yourself. Your happy memories of her will comfort you in the meantime. God Bless.

introducing your greatgrandchild, Michael Paul Cress

Grandmother Cress,
I wish we had not lost touch after my dad passed away, that we did not get to know each other as I became and adult and a mom myself. You will be missed and I will share memories of you with your 3rd great grandchild, Michael Paul Cress.
