Shari and Lisa, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this time. Remember to trust in Him and lean on Him for He will carry you through this time and through your year of "firsts". I wish I could say you get over the loss of a loved one but I can only say that you learn to go through it in a different way with God's help. What a sight it must have been... your Mom in the arms of Jesus.
God bless,
Carolyn and Frank

Lisa and Shari,
I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Ruby's passing. I know she is with my parents and they are watching over us all. I know how difficult this time is for you both and I will keep you in my prayers.
I wish that my schedule was where I could have been with you both during this difficult time.
She was a wonderful sweet lady and I will miss her very much.
