Anne, Mary, Elizabeth, Margaret, John, Regina and Catherine my good thoughts and prayers are with your whole family as you work through this difficult time. One thing that helped me when my Dad passes is knowing that your Mon and Dad are together again with all their brother and sisters and friends. I loved Aunt Margaret and she will be missed but often brought to mind.
God Bless and Keep all Safe,
