Sandy, your support during my mother's illness meant more than I can say. I knew your mother only through the way you spoke of her and how you put her sense of family and home above everything. I can return your kindness only by promising you that over time, your heart will heal and your memories of her will touch every day of your life.

It was an honor and a privilage to have been considered extended family members by Aunt Bernice. She was a woman of goodness, kindness and strength, and much of life's lessons were to be learned from her. To you, Candace, Sandy and Randy, our heartfelt condolances on the loss of your Mother, a woman of valor.
Sincerely,
