Dear Marie and Family,
The loss of a mother is truly sad and for our family its almost the end of an era. You can rejoice that she is now with God and her family in Heaven and you can be happy knowing the good care you gave her in her last years. Our family was blest for having her in our midst and I think we were all happy to have been there for her 100th birthday party. We can thank the Lord for having known such a woman as fine as she was. I will miss her so much especially the phone calls I made to her and her visits to the office which we all enjoyed and the many stories she always had to tell.
Love,
