My condolences and deepest sympathies to you all. Aunt Rose You and Uncle Andy set a very high bar for love, dedication and loyalty. Thank you for setting such a great example. Love and prayers to you!

My heartfelt condolences to the family during this time of sorrow. (1Corinthains 15:26) (Isaiah 61:1,2) Please find peace in knowing that He understands your grief and He cares. 1 Peter 5:6, 7
