Your mom was one of the first people that contacted my mother and my grandmother in the ministry in the house to house ministry. As a result of her faithful ministry our family is in the truth to this day ! My husband and I have many fond memories of your parents we have shared a lot with them and that's one of the reasons why we moved to Florida but we also shared many memories building the kingdom hall and also the assembly Hall in Natick what a gift of faithful service and also they connected our family with brother Mitchell from Albania and he continued to study with my parents and others ....we are so saddened by the loss of your beloved mom , yet we know what a joy she was and how much we long for the perfect future when will hopefully be there ourselves ....to welcome her and your dad back ! What a beautiful time that will be! Sending all of you love ❤ knowing the loss of beloved parents is the very very difficult one, but also longing for the day when we can once again open our arms and embrace them again !!! .
