Dear Wilma, Lee, Alma, Glenn, Bill and family. In memory of Lora Lee. In death there is pain and sorrow of physical separation. But it is equally true that our loved ones remain with us. They do not just go off to some dark and distant place. They simply continue into eternal life. For those who are left behind should not grieve as if there were no hope. Life is changed, not taken away. Our loved ones live on, in a world beautiful beyond anything we can imagine. With Jesus and Mary they await the day when they will welcome us with joy. Lora, I thank you for your having crossed my path in this life and for the opportunity to have met your beautiful family who remain at your side forever more. Until we meet again. With Love and Respect. (Daughter of Rose Pedone-FlaLiving)

Dear Alma,Glenn and family.

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Brings back memories of my childhood visiting you parents home in Orlando and sitting on a high stool in the St. Cloud Poolroom visiting with your Dad and my Grandfather Andy Wieland. Your Dad always had a soda for me.

May your Mom rest in Peace. What a long and unique life she had.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
