Al, Sandra, Gary, Lisa and all of the Family,
My condolences and prayers are with you. The loss of a mother - grandmother - love one is a very tough passage in life. However, the beauty she has shown and shared with you in that life is ever lasting and will be there to comfort you; lift you up; bring a smile back to your face. She has not left you but has joined her father in his kingdom. There with him she will lovingly watch over you. God bless you at this hour and I am here if you need me. -Flo
