Liz and family, our hearts are saddened by your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you. I have so many great memories of your mom (Ms June) and find it comforting that she is at peace now and no longer suffering. Perhaps they are not actually stars in the sky, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let's know they are happy. With Love Meg, Quinton and Emerson Brantley
