Donna, John and Mary, Your Mom's passing while painful and sad also means she is at peace and reunited with Billy, your dad. Your Mom was one of the strongest and loyalest friends I have ever known. She loved her family above all else. LeRoy and I join you in the celebration of her life and gifts and wisdom she shared not only with each of you, her family, but also those privileged to be close friends. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with each of you.

Donna, John and Mary, condolences and prayers to you on the passing of Aunt Marg. I prayed for her every day that she would lose her fear of leaving and finally be granted a peaceful passing. She is the last of my aunts, she was determined to hang in there but now I know she is a peace, rejoined with Uncle Bill and her family. May angels lead her into paradise and may she Rest In Peace. God's blessings to you all and to Val who took such good care of her. Love to you all, Tom & Barb
