Life's completeness and Richness dependa on the things we share with our love ones and friends. People need people and friends, and we all need love for a full life depends, not on vast riches, or great acclamis, not on sucess or wordly fame but, just in knowing someone cares and holds you close in our thoughts and prayers. For only the knowledge that we are understood makes everybody living feel wonderful good and we rob ourselves of lives greatest needs when lock of hearts, and fail to heed, life's greatest needs so, here's thinking of and thinking too how life is enriched by someone like you.

The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994. We will keep you in our prayers. We truly hated to hear about your loss.
