To Uncle Bill and Cousins,
I am saddened by the passing of Aunt Al (my Godmother).
I will never forget our time spent in Bolton – I will always remember Aunt Al’s smile and laugh.
She sent me a beautiful birthday card every single year amazing she never missed a year!
She leaves many happy memories in our hearts!
Sending love and hugs to you all!
Dear Lorrie, Carolyn, Billy and Amy,
The end of a beautiful life is always so sad. Your Mom’s time had come and we will all miss her. Our hearts are with you and understand that simplicity is the very best choice for your Dad. It is so hard, probably impossible, to know what this is like for him, except profoundly sad. The greater the beauty in life, the greater the sense of loss at its’ end.
