Joyce, Frank and Lisa,
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. It's never easy saying goodbye to the person who helped mold the person we've become. Just know that our loved ones never truly leave us, their spirit and love dwells deep within us. Cherish those special memories they will see you through this difficult time.

Much Love,
Maryann Warrington(Greene)

Aunt Joan: Although we didn't see much of each other when we did I was always greeted with your pretty smile and a kiss. You will truly be missed and you were loved by all. Say hi to my Mom and Dad for me.

Dear Aunt Joan, we have fond memories of our time together at family outings and our monthly poker games years ago. We always looked forward to receiving the first Christmas card of the season--yours, of course. We have made a donation to the USO on your behalf as requested. May the good Lord keep you in his loving care.
