Not sure what to say?

Dear Yvonne, Barry and family. Jo Anne and I send our sympathies to you all. Though we didn't know your mom as well as many, we recall her being an especially sweet and kind person. She always welcomed us into her presence with warmth and joy. She definitely rubbed off on you guys, because we see the same kindness in your hearts! We are sorry that we couldn't be more present with you during your time of loss. We love you and pray God's comfort strengthens you and helps you every moment of...

I always looked up to Sis Cahill as an example of a Godly woman. Her life was an example for me as a young Christian. Now she is celebrating with Jesus. I will be praying for your family.

I was fortunate enough to have Pauline work in my department at McLaren for several years. She was a wonderful person and my sympathies go out to her family. May your relationship with the Lord bring you peace and comfort during this time.
