my favorite memory of my Sister in Law is visiting her in Arkansas and we had peaches and cream for breakfast. The guys took off and we had the morning to ourselves.
Love you Veda,
Miss you.

My sincerest condolences for your terrible loss. Certainly, the pain it brings can be overwhelming. Therefore, it is my sincere prayer that the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. (Isaiah 61:1,2) With heartfelt sympathy.
