Oooh, the resolute joy Mary, that for the balance of your days, this fact reigns as testament: to witness the daughter, is to remember the mother. And to you, my invaluable high school classmate, know that the duality of thought and prayer, for the Jones family, is in a spirited place.

To Mary and Family:
Your mother was a special lady, and God blessed her to live a long and fruitful life--full of faith and love. I thank God for the times he blessed me to be in her company. She made sure her name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and now she is seeing her Savior face to face! My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will engulf you with His strength, comfort, and peace--all just a part of His love for you.
