Clarence, and Family,

I just wanted you to know how much we will miss Colette. Even though we have not seen her in a while, she has always been in our hearts and I am very glad God put her in our lives. I will never forget that loving disposition, and her love for the Lord. I loved seeing her beautiful smile on Sunday mornings at the Temple. She was a wonderful beautiful woman who loved the Lord with all her heart. Clarence and Colette did special things for Emily and I, and I am blessed to have had them in our lives. I pray for you all to be comforted by Gods Love.

I know she is in Heaven walking on streets of gold. Praise God! Thank you for letting us know her. We Will see her soon!

Yvonne and family. We were so sorry to hear of the death of Gramma. She was such a kind and thoughtful lady. We were lucky to have gotten to know Gramma and Grampa when they attended Robin's birthday party at the house. Wish we could be there for the funeral. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Grandma had a gracious heart. I will always remember the sweets she had over at her house when she knew I'd be over. I'll miss you.
