Dear Linda and Frank,
As sad as the loss of a loved one can be, we are lifted up in the joy of knowing that Anna, too, shall share in our Lord's Resurrection! As you grieve her passing and reminisce on wonderful memories that you hold in your heart, may you find joy in her new life in our Lord, Jesus Christ – for death is only the beginning, and our separation is only temporary.
In our prayers, Ed & Ivette

Frank,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Aunt. I will never forget the look on her face the day she "found" you. She was a great woman with a great heart.
Much love to you and your family, Teri Clendaniel Murphy
