Life...so fragile, Loss...so sudden, heart...so broken...in the wake of such a loss, we are haunted by things we don't, and may never understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you and hold you close, and give you peace. Sorry we could not be here. We miss and love you all Laura & Trisha

To Albert and Family: My condolences are with each one of you at this time. May God strengthen each of you during this time of bereavement. I will always remember cousin Shirley as a warm and soft spoken spirit. May precious memories linger in your hearts as they put smiles in your hearts and wipe away the tears. She is now in one of the "eternal" mansions God said he has prepared for each one of us.

To my cousin Shirley who will always be remembered for her spirit as a caring and compassionate person, with a memorable laugh. Your generosity was boundless. I will always remember your concern for me on holidays and you always called to make sure I had food to eat and extended an open door to me to come and get a plate. Although I could not always get by to see you, you were always in my thoughts. You will be missed but I know you are at peace. Love Cousin Diana
