I pray that you dear family and friend find some comfort in the thoughts expressed at Psalms chapter 34 verse 18.

Our hearts go out to the whole family during this time of grief. How wonderful that you all have come together. You can cry and laugh and relive past times as you honor her. I always loved your Mom's sense of humor. She was so filled with warmth and grace. She was so down to earth and fun to be around. Thank you Anna for giving us Anna 2, we are forever grateful. With Love, Ron and Kathy Curley
