Ms. Mary (Ma)
I will fondly remember the wonderful cruise trip we gave you and I hope it gave you as much joy as we had just having you share the cruise with us. You endeared yourself to my mother forever and she reflects upon that trip often. You were Grandma Mary to my daughter Calandra and my grandchildren Denai and Cai who loved you very much. You will miss the hand-made birthday card that Denai made for your birthday. We all loved you very much. Rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to the family in the passing of your beloved Ms. Mary. As stated by Jeremiah of our heavenly Father at chapter 1:8, "I am with you to deliver you." When in despair,dear family, know that you do have someone to turn to in your time of sorrow, you are not alone. He is there for each of you whenever He's needed.
Have confidence and put your faith and trust in the one that is there for you, 24/7. Go to Him in prayer through His Son, Jesus Christ, and you will be comforted and strengthen by our heavenly Father's holy spirit.
Christian Love,
leffie scott
