To Roxi's family,

Memory: Going to your house when we were still young and living at home. Seeing you again, when visiting your father, Bob, in the nursing home. How wonderful and friendly all the family was to me. God's peace be with you through this time. Allow the Holy Spirit to hold you, and comfort you, for your Father in heaven is hurting with you. He hurt, too, when His Son died on the cross, but he knew it was for the benefit of reconciling us back to Himself. He gave us a great capacity to feel love, and with that came a great capacity to feel loss. We were made in His image. He knows you, loves you, and cares for you! Enjoy the memories of Roxi! My love to you all, your cousin, Catherine Courneya Westerberg, daughter of Joseph Paul Courneya, son of John (Jack) Joseph and MaryBelle Evelyn Courneya.
