Patti, Adam, Brad & Craig,
I am saddened, knowing that you're enduring another loss in your life. The strength you find in each other has helped you and will help you through the loss of your Mom and Grandmother.
Evelyn amazed me, as she always remembered something from our last meeting to ask me about. She made me feel special. That is a gift.

I prayed for her peace in whatever way God chose to grant it. His choice was to take her from us, freeing her of pain and giving her peace.
I'm sorry I can't be with you at this time of grieving. I'm sending love to you all,

Dear Dolores Greg, Diane, Cynthia & Family-

Our deepest sympathy is with you on the loss of your mother and our dear Aunt Evelyn. She brought joy to all who knew her. Find comfort in the knowledge that she is with her Lord and will join her loving husband and my friend Uncle Joe. Trust in the knowledge that, in the promise of salvation, Christ gives us a life eternal with him. Our prayers are with you as you face the sadness of life without your loving mother, but know that you will be with her again someday.

The Lord does Wonderful Things for His People.

Love your cousin Tom and his wife Marjorie Valenti
