Ray, Susan, and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hope that in the midst of this difficult time, God brings you hope and comfort and rest and reminds you that you are blessed. With love, Erika A Mother’s Love Poet Helen Steiner Rice A Mother’s love is something that no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may For nothing can destroy it or take that love away … It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking … It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems … It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation, And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand And another wondrous evidence of God’s tender guiding hand.

The best grandmother & great-grandmother too. The past year or so was extremely difficult for you, but you remained tough through it all. I can only aspire to be as strong! I love you & will miss you tremendously. Our family will be grieving for a long time to come but will celebrate your memory!
I am so sorry for your loss.May she rest in peace. I know she is in a better place now with our Lord. God bless your family.
