Hoping her memories bring you peace and understanding...She leaves a void that can never be filled and a wonderful family that I know will pass on her values.

My memories of Busia are ones of the family. You all came together to care for her during the time of greatest need. You treated her with love and dignity. That is her memorial -- she was a treasured member of a loving family. She has finished her time on earth and now goes to join other loved ones. I wish her a gentle transition to what lies ahead. Rest in peace Busia.
