What joy you brought to my life for the last 24 years! I could have searched the world over and never found another mother-in-law that I loved and respected more! I will miss you more than words can say. I love you!

To the Hicks Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
