Patty and family,
I heard this morning that your precious mother had gone home to be with the Lord. I pray God's comfort over your family during this time. That you have peace knowing that she is in now in the presence of the one she served and loved throughout her life. I hold so many wonderful memories of your mother and am thankful that God allowed the path of my life to cross with hers. Much love to you all - Michele
