Dear Linda,
We'll miss your Mom too. Through all the illness and pain she endured, she always had time to visit when she felt well enough. And the visits were always enjoyable to us. We know she's in pain no longer and that she is in a wonderful place now.
You were a caring and loving daughter to her as everyone who knew both of you could see. God will take care of her now.
Love Rudy and Mary Ann

Auntie Linda,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I loved Grandma Mary very much and have fond memories of our time together - from when I was just a little kid going to lunch after preschool to eating pierogies on Christmas Eve.
You'll both be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Charlie
