Cliff & Russ:
My heartfelt condolences to you both on the loss of your dear Mother. Rest well sweet Mabel, faithful servant, until we meet again. Fred has been bowling quite a few perfect 300 games and proudly watching over you and those two gentle giants, your boys, waiting to be together again. You've done a great job, Mama, and are so loved. Thank you for loving me too. Eternal rest, grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
