Family...Words, however kind, can't mend our heartache: but those who care and share the loss of Aunt Dear wish us comfort and peace of mind. May we find strength in the love of family, the warm embrace of friends, and the memories of the beautiful life, cakes and sweet potato pies of Auntie Dear.  May God grant us the peace that surpasses all understanding. Love Cat, Rickie, Auntie J and family!
