Margaret, Roger, Glyn, Sheritta and the entire Sholes-Wilson family. I can't be with you at this time, but I've felt and know your pain. My deepest sympathy is with all of you as you grieve. We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but God is always prepared to help us through. May his presence begin the healing in your heart, mind, and soul. May God comfort and continue to bless all of you.

Your mother and I have been friends for over 50 years. Others thought we were sisters, and we were in Christ. I will miss our nightly talks and visits. She will be missed by all who knew her and will remember her good heart. My God keep a watchful eye over you. Please remember that I'm here for you at any time.
Love, Aunt
