Kay, David and families
My sympathy on your loss. Sorry I am unable to attend the service and reviewal and yet would have liked to been there for you. When I lost my Mother someone told me you never really lose your Mother - at that time I was too wrapped up in grief to think that, but after 24 yrs I have learned you do not ever lose her.
My prayers are with you and thinking of you.
