Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of your beloved Mrs Royanna. Our Heavenly Father Jehovah God promises to remove sickness, pain, and to swallow up death forever. He promises to reunite us with our loved ones on a clean earth in the near future. These wonderful promises are found in the Bible at Revelation 21:3,4; Isaiah 25:8; and Psalms 37:9-11.

We have lost a wonderful lady and once again please remember ‘You never get over such a loss, you find a way to get through it.
All my love to such a wonderful family.
Cathy, David, Rhonda and Sharon, I was truly saddened to read of your mothers passing. She was a lovely woman inside and out and possessed so many wonderful qualities and values. However, as you know Royanna always made her family her top priority and what a beautiful legacy she has left behind with the four of you! Heaven has received a very special Angel. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
