Dear cousins,
I am so sorry for your loss! I know how you feel. Even though I didn't know my aunt very well. She impressed me as a loving and caring person. You are all in my prayers. God bless you and comfort you in your time of grief!

I've thought often of Mrs. Brewer over the years. I am grateful for the time I had with her in fifth grade - she was a wonderful teacher, and a Godly woman, and now she is home. My condolences to her family.
