Gary and Joani,

Sorry to hear about your loss. having been through the final days of our 92 year old uncle this summer I can certainly say that while losing a dear loved one is always painful, the pain is often eased when a gentle transition follows a full and well lived life that touched many along the journey.

Our prayers are with you at this time of reflection and sadness.

Hey everyone,
I was so sorry to hear about Hazel. Mom and I and two of my girls had just been to see her a couple of weeks ago, and I was reminded of what a sweet, sweet lady she was. As I explained her passing to our 6 year old, I told her that Hazel went to sleep and woke up in Heaven. What an awesome thought!!! We will be praying for all of you in the days and weeks ahead. Love to all.
