Dear Cousins...
So sad (yet at the same time happy) to hear of Aunt Marion's passing. God has her now in His Loving Arms - giving her comfort and letting her to finally rest in peace.
Even though this is a sad event, let's celebrate her passing knowing she is present with the Lord.
We all loved her so much, for she was a wealth of information and fun to be around. I relished listening to her stories about our old family members; what vivid recall she had. I hate to see your go as she was the last living person of that generation - the matriarch of the Myrick & Packard clans. Now it's our turn to pass on the memories we have regarding family to younger generations.
Rest in Peace Aunt Marion... Rest in Peace. You'll be missed her on earth, but never forgotten.
