"Love often makes itself visible in pain. The pain we are now experiencing shows us how deep, full, intimate, and all-pervasive her love was." - Henry Nouwen

I pray that the pain your hearts are feeling with the loss of Great Aunt Claudia will be balanced by wonderful memories of joyful times together. We are praying for y'all and are with you in spirit.
