So sorry for your loss Linda & Kelly. 🙏

Love Linda and Kelly
In Heaven’s garden, tending to Gods flowers, Granny is doing what she loves best. My sympathy to the family.
To the whole family,
We are so sorry for your loss. We just got a Christmas card signed Aunt Shirley, even though she was our fathers niece, our cousin. She sent a card every year. I see services are private so we will respect your wishes. Our prayers are with you.
Thank you all so much for the kind words and thoughts of sympathy. We all appreciate it.
