I'm reminded of our conversations with Rusty, Doris, children and grandchildren while exercising together at Heartcare Midwest. She was a sweet lady. My condolences to you and your family.

Dear Cuz,
Just read the paper and so sad to read about your mom.  Please know my thoughts are with you and your family today.  We go back a long way and now we are family.  Just wanted to send some love and prayers your way today.  May your mom's beautiful memory carry on in your heart.  Thinking of you and wishing you peace at this difficult time.  Celebrate and honor her with joyful memories!  That's what my mom says she wants.  Wants us to go to dinner and remember all the wonderful times and conversations.  Hope you are able to do that with your family.  Love, Mary

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”
