My prayers are with all of you in your time of loss. Right now it may not feel like it, but after the first year--the year with all the firsts...birthdays, special occasions...then you can actually begin healing and remembering times with your mother, grandmother, aunt with smiles and warmth in your heart. Now she can rest in peace and be reunited with Diane!!

May God Bless you all with His loving touch and heal your hearts from sadness with His Grace.
