Although it has been years since I have seen you, Carole and Jim, I must stop to send you prayers and warm thoughts on the loss of your granddaughter....It is so hard to lose someone, but especially someone so young. My sympathies to the parents; my mom (Loretta Daron) always said it was hard to lose her three husbands but hardest to lose her son Robert at age twenty. God grant you the strength and peace at this time.

Dear Scott, Lori, Joe, & Brooke,
We offer to you and your entire family our deepest sympathy and promise of prayers during this difficult time of saying goodbye to your loved one. May the love you share with, and for Amy continue to touch you in spirit each day as our God will heal and comfort you through your sorrows.
May you see her smile over you as you witness each new flower open or look at each new leaf that falls and may it sparkle within you at every snowflake's call.
May you feel her warmth and love within you each time there is a breeze and may you hear her voice echoing at the time the bell rings. May you sense her always close to you in each important thing and may her life be treasured in the beautiful ways a bird can sing.
Scott, Lori and family, again, we offer to you our deepest sympathy and promise of prayers for God's love, peace and comfort in your sadness and through your tears as you make this departing journey.
We pray also; Eternal rest grant unto Amy O Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace, Amen!
