So sorry for loss. We are thinking of you at this difficult time and sending you love and prayers.
Thanks be to God that she lived such a long life of almost 92 years. My mother certainly will be missed, She was kind to everyone. I only remember her saying something negative once and that was toward a certain politician that shall remain nameless… My prayers are with the family and friends.
Dearest Mary, Don, Jessica, Wil, Anthony, and Brato. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. She was beautiful both inside and out. I know she will be missed.
Dear Mary, Jessica and all of the family; I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful mother and grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and all of your family.
