He will be missed indeed…yet I’m sure you take some comfort in knowing he is in a better place…that he is safe and healthy and warm and in the familiar company of his many loved ones.
    Mother Trudy has been feeling very poorly physically for the last two weeks and she feels deeply saddened at the passing of her remaining Brother and Sister. Please know she loved them dearly and is sending her prayers and thoughts. It is not easy getting older and saying “good-bye for now” to all our earth angels…and she looks forward to the day when she will be with them all again, in another time and place. So again, sending you both love and prayers…and may your happiest memories bring you peace and contentment.

    Love Marie and Jim
