Kevin,

I am very sorry for your loss. Thank God you and your family were blessed to have her around for such a long period of time. My mother just turned 99 and is not doing well. I expect her time to come soon. Even though they lived long lives, saying good bye will not be easy. A mother's love is very special. May God bless your mom and put her in heaven where she will be surrounded by gardens of flowers that she loved. My prayers are with you and your family during this sad time.

TO KEVIN AND BARBARA;

OUR CONDOLANCES TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
