How sweetly tied together all our lives are. How hard it is when someone we love slips the bonds we've shared. With Deepest Sympathy

Dearest Dick and Susan (Siera) and family - The heavens are welcoming a wonderful person to the everlasting family. I will forever hear her hearty laugh and envision her falling over from happiness. She will be missed from my life for many reasons. We did so many fun things together. May you keep her memory alive with happy memories and conversation. Mother nature is preventing me from being with you. Fondly - Josephine (aka Juliet)
