Let your heart not
Overflow with your pain
But seek out the joy
In the memories that remain
Remember that your loss
Is yet heavens gain

Dear Mark & Carol,
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Mark, you are a good son and I trust that God's loving hands will embrace you now to enjoy the memories that are now treasures.
To lose a parent is devastating but remember one day we will be together in the light of heaven to be with our creator. Little comfort now but as time passes, our pain becomes a warm and loving integral part of our being.
Please take care and keep your faith strong during this difficult time.
Warmest regards,
Jo Ann Liberto
