To "Uncle Archie" how sad my heart is over our loss of "Aunt Duzzy". You two have become a part of my extended family and always looked forward to holidays. I would love to come but I have just started new job and hate to ask off so soon. When a Chrisitan dies, the service is truly a blessing to those who are left behind for it is a celebration and we can rejoice in their homegoing. I will always think of Iris in the positive way. "She has moved home" She has truely been healed
