Theresa, Bruce, Robert and Aidan,
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother and Grandmother. The pictures on the site bring back a lot of memories of the last thirty years or so. It sure is nice to see them all. Rosalie is in a better place and does not hurt anymore. Praying for all of you.

My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures
John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)
Please go to the following link to obtain more information regarding the Hope expressed in this passage and again we are sorry for your loss.
