Dear Charles, George, Tommy, and Matthew,

I cannot tell you how deeply I feel your loss. My deepest sympathies to each of you. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

Grace was one-of-a-kind. She was gentle, kind, loving and thoughtful. She adored you all.

She was there the day I was born and never missed a birthday or special occasion. I have never known a kinder soul.

I am so glad that she has gone on to place of peace.

I am sure she is with Carolyn and she is catching Grace up!

I love you,

Aunt Grace,

You were the model wife and helper for Uncle Charles. You treated him like a king and he held you up as his queen. I trust that any woman would do well to follow your example in marriage. Even though I only got to see you a couple times of year growing up, you were always interested in what I was doing. You were like that with everyone with whom you came into contact. I guess that is why you were always late! You just could not break away from listening to those around you. You were gentle. You were kind. You were respectful. You were loving. This world really did not deserve the likes of you. I trust that you are in Jesus' arms right now and have already heard the words that I long to hear one day, "Well done my good and faithful servant".
Today, I rejoice with you. You have entered into your rest. No more tears. No more sorrow. No more death. You have your hearing back and you are with all those that preceeded you into the Kingdom. I look forward to the day that I will see you again, with that contagious smile and gentle spirit.

Until then,

January 12, 2010

Hi George,
