Dearest Shirley, family and friends one of life's toughest trials is to lose a child, parent, brother or sister. Words never seem to help during times like this.

We can only hope and pray that in times of loneliness and reflection that God, and loved ones provide the warmth and love needed to overcome the loss we will All feel.

Life and death are both bitter sweet. God gives us comfort in knowing life is temporary, and death is not the end, but only the beginning.

IN LOVING MEMORY.
