I never really got to know Mamie and if I saw her, I guess I was too young to remember, but I know for certain; even though she wasn't always in the house when we would visit aunt Emma and uncle Clyde and all of you, the love for her was still felt in that family. I know you will miss her, but if anyone has the joy of finally making it to a better place, she certainly has her cup running over. If she could just talk to you now any say what she feels compared to the life she lived on this earth, she would probably never stop talking and telling everyone what a difference this new life is and why did it take so long to get here!! I'm sorry Mom and I couldn't make it today, but keep her in your prayers that she'll soon be able to walk again like she did and move about just to go to church.

I love you all and pray that God will give you that peace again, the peace that he gives all of us to make it through times like these. If there is anything I can do, please call.
Love,
Diane Wray
