It will never be easy to say goodbye, but the consolation comes when we remember her joy always present, when we take refuge in the memory of her hugs, in the strength of her spirit, in the accuracy of her words or in the calm that the long years offered. Today, although my presence is not there, my heart and my mind are with you. I hope the Lord will fill you with strength and peace because she will always live in each one of us.
With all my deepest condolences to all of you for her departure.

Our sincere condolences to the Plavetic family. We lived next to Mrs. Plavetic for 18 years - they were wonderful neighbors. One of the few we knew by name. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
