My dearest cousins,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Your mother was a wonderful woman – one guided by the light of our Lord, compassionate, caring, and always willing to help others. She lived and loved to serve God, and faced the tribulations of her lifetime with the deepest faith. Her greatest achievements are each of you, evidenced by the pride she had in your accomplishments.
Hers was a life well-lived.
I so understand the grief you are facing at her passing, yet know that she is with Joe, at last, and the Lord she loved with all her heart.
My love to you all,
Jan
