Iris, Yodie, Elwood and Rennie,

I have found that the amount of pain we feel when a loved one leaves our life is in direct proportion to the amount of joy they brought to it. The pain you are feeling must be enormous. I know. But remember her spirit will always be with you…she will caress you with a sunbeam…kiss you with a raindrop…and if you listen carefully you'll hear her laughter in the wind. May you find comfort in your memories and joy in knowing that she is with the Father.

Love, peace and blessings,
Denise Thomas-Brown
