Jim, Lori & families….My thoughts and prayers are with you on the passing of your mom, grandma & gg….”My heart is with you – in the sadness of having to say good-bye. My heart is with you – in memories that give you comfort. My heart is with you – in times when you need love and support. My heart is with you – in sympathy and friendship today and all the days ahead.” She was a good friend when I moved to Vegreville until her illness sent her into the “home”. May she rest in peace now where there is no pain. As you celebrate her life, may the memories bring comfort.
