It is with joy and thanksgiving I remember your Mom and Dad. It is with a great sense of loss that she has entered into her eternal rest. As your Mom passes, almost all of our relatives from that generation have entered eternity. We are the now the older generation. Might we be the example they were to us as we continue on what they began in us. Love to you all
