Dear Cousins Stanley and Allan and families;
My most deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear mother (my aunt). My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. I lite a candle after church today for her - that God would take her in the palm of his hand and unite her with her husband (uncle Walter) for a life of eternal happiness and peace.
I know my mom was there to greet her as she was welcomed into Gods kingdom.
May God be with you all,
Love,
Cousin Ann and son Joshua
