Dear Kirsten and your entire family,

The loss of a loved one is never easy for those who loved and cherished them so much. But, do know that your grandmother has gone HOME; she has been called home by her Father and will be abundantly blessed to be with other loved ones who've already passed on. I know she was a blessing to you all and you'll always keep her in your memories and share her life and love and laughter with the generations to come. Keeping her legacy alive will continue to be a blessing to the family.May God bless and keep you always.

With my deepest condolences,

Michelle Dartis
Your classmate and friend
