I got to know Mrs. Guice over holiday dinners at her daughter Deronda's home. When ever you were around her you could feel the warmth and kindness.

The death of a loved one saddens us all. The Lord's Prayer gives us a glimpse of the future. When God's will is done on earth, so many thIngs that cause tears and pain will be gone forever. My prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
