Aunt Diane,
You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers. We are very sorry we cannot be there with you. I will forever remember Uncle George teasing me about the Steelers and trying to turn me into a Panther fan. Know that we are here for you always--we are only a phone call away.

Minutes turn into hours; hours turn into days. Every day that passes brings me closer to peace with God and myself, knowing the ones I've loved and lost are with Him.
I pray that you, too, will know this peace as your days move forward.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2
