To my friend Anna, all the other siblings and children of Roger

During this time of sadness, may you find comfort in the sympathy expressed by your friends and loved ones who are sending you a lot of LOVE and SUPPORT in this difficult time.

"Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched... for nothing loved is ever lost... and he was loved so much."

With Deepest Sympathy to the family

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.

- St. Francis of Assisi

Condolences to Mary, Myra and entire Grant Family. You are in our prayers daily . . . God Bless our Brother and Uncle Roger. Love, your California Family
