To the family....

Apologies for writing this late, life gets in the way of many obligations.

May you take comfort in realizing that your mother was a good person. She never wished harm to anyone and always worked for peace. If there is a heaven be assurred that she has earned her rightful place. It is only a matter of time before we all join her in a better place.

Take solace in the fact of where she is and hopefully where we will all be someday.

God bless you all and help you in your time of need.
