Ann, Lee, Rita, JoAnn and Lorraine: Losing a loved one is never easy. It brings an overall spirit of sadness. However, blessings also come with passing on to God's heavenly kingdom by ending suffering and anguish. I known your sister and mother is in God's hands and I hope that provides you the peace and consolation that it should. Aunt Mary was a sweet, humble and caring woman who always had a ready laugh or smile from my childhood memories. My condolences and I wish for God's blessings for your all.
