To my Cousins and Honorary Uncle,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know you are grieving right now. Just remember that Aunt Blanche is in a better place and is no longer suffering. She is now a guardian angel for all your children and grandchildren. She will never be gone as long as you keep her memory alive in your heart. I will light a candle in her memory before mass this morning. I wish I could be there for you physically, but know that I am with you in spirit. All my love, Sherry
