My heart is with you through this very hard time. She was an amazing, gracious, and kind woman who graced our lives with her presence everyday. I will always cherish the relationship I was fortunate enough to have with her. Her stories, memories, and wisdom always brought such enjoyment, wonder, and history to my life. Thank you for sharing her with me and allowing me to be a part of your wonderful family. My biggest comfort is that she now has her loving husband forever and they are waiting for us later. I love you all and wish you strength and peace.
