My heart goes out to each of you during this sad time. I remember your mother so well. The smile was
always there, ready to sparkle at anyone that she saw. A really beautiful lady, with a really beautiful family. Each one of you
were such beautiful people and it
was very obvious what a great family you came from. Alrie and Shirley are the ones I have been able to keep up with, and I love you both very much. My prayer is
that God will give you all special strength to carry you through this.
Just think how bright heaven must be
today with her wonderful smile added
to it. What a joyous reunion is happening there today as our Heavenly Father welcomes her home.
