Dear Susan and Deborah,

I am very sorry to hear that your mother has left us. After all of these years I still have fond memories of how kind she was to me and her caring attitude towards me and all others. She will not be forgotten.

I regret that I had not seen her in such a long time but I do look forward to seeing her again one day for I am sure that she is in a much better place now.

I hope that you and your families will endure with your Mother’s passing through the holiday. I will keep you in my prayers that God will strengthen and uplift you and give you peace.

Always your friend,

Lee Gilliam

Susan and Deborah,
We were shocked and saddened to hear about your mother.
We know right now, at your time of grief
It's hard to understand,
So we pray that you, will find some comfort
Under God's loving hand.
We know Emma always loved her angels...
Now she is one herself..at peace and with Victor.
Both of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mike, Donna, Bobby and Deni Virostek
