May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My sincere condolences for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted " and "comforts all who mourn", sustain your family during this challenging time. Isaiah 61:1,2.

My heart goes out to Alida and Gene. Although I never met your mother, I must have come to know something of her in her remarkable daughter. I am sorry for your loss. It is a life to celebrate.

Alida & Gene, even though I never met Selma, I have heard countless stories about her. You guys are in my prayers- Aedan Heffernan
