Dear Family, I send my condolences to you on the loss of your love one, it is amazing that she lived such a long life, not many of us will have that opportunity, just think of the changes she must have seen in the world during her lifetime. May the God of all comfort be with you at this time of sorrow. Psalm 119:76; Psalms 90:10
