I don't believe I have ever read such a well written and loving obituary. It made me smile to think of her and brought out her essence. Her spirit definitely will go on sending out her ripples of goodness far into the future. I look forward to celebrating her memory with you.

My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. I hope the promise at 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there is hope for our loved ones lost in death can be reassuring.
