Dear Dave I am so sorry to hear that your wife had passed away, to lose a love one is a tragedy. Please keep in mind that you have your family and friends to help you through these difficult times. Prayers to God in these difficult times can also serve as source of comfort he invites us to approach him and to pour out our hearts to him. The Psalmist David calls him the hearer of prayers Psalms: 65:2 "O Hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts will come ", so God does hear our prayers. The same Psalmist likewise says at, Psalms: 34: 18 " God is close to the brokenhearted he saves those who are crushed in spirit". So remember Dave, God knows what you are going through and he will be there to help you through, along with all those of your family and friends who love you. May you find the comfort that God gives in these difficult time.

Dear Kristen,
We've shared a lot in common regarding our aging parents.
Your mom was a wonderful person who had a daughter with
all the same attributes. No regrets Kristen. You and your family
are in my thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately I cannot be there
due to circumstances but I will be there in spirit. Love you.

Grandma Donna was the most incredible person in the world. She will be missed by everyone. She did so many good things for those around her, often random strangers. She loved with all her heart and she battled the most corageous battle I've ever seen. She is a fighter, a nurturer, a genuine kind-hearted soul and a true inspiration. The world lost the best person last night. She will never ever be forgotten. Her legacy will continue on. We love you grandma. There will never be a single day where you aren't missed. Rest In Peace.

Dear Mr. Taft, Kristen, Michaela & David,
In this world it only takes one person to make a difference and your wife & mom was that one person to me.
I have so many precious memories because she cared and I want to thank you all for sharing your home and mom with me.
Donna was the most selfless, giving and generous person I have ever known and most importantly she gave of herself without expectation. She is already missed.
My sincerest condolences,
Diane Hassell Bretanha
