Dear Family, I feel such peace with Grandma's passing. I feel peace because she is out of pain and discomfort. I feel peace because I know she lived a good and full life. I know that Grandma was a very creative person, a wonderful cook, and a woman of service and love. I will always remember stories of Grandma decorating and cooking for neighbors weddings. Taking meals to families in need and cooking and baking for our own family's Christmas day celebration. I never tried the tomato aspic( a little too adventurous for a kid!) but it always looked difficult! What I appreciate most of Grandma is the example and teacher she was to my own Mom, Pam. Grandma I will always remember you with red roses and poinsettias. Love you forever, your grandaughter, Angela P. Murray

Dear Family: We grieve with you at Barbara's passing. Yet even in our grief we are comforted by the knowledge that she is yet alive, living in a better place free from pain and suffering and joyfully reunited with her loved ones who preceded her. We are also comforted by the knowledge that in the merciful plan of Our Father in Heaven we have the opportunity to be reunited with Barbara again. We know that this knowledge comforts you also. We are praying for you. Aloha.
