Carole, I'm so sorry for the death of your sister. I met her a few times at Costco and enjoyed talking to her. She always struck me as someone who was a lot of fun. I am praying for both of you.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope.
It has been several years since I last saw my cousin, Ruby. I remember her sense of humor and jovial demeanor.... she always brought a smile to the gathering. I know she is resting in the arms of our Savior Jesus Christ and is at PEACE.
