Aunt Mare, I shall treasure the memories of hearing your laughter, seeing your lovely smile and sharing moments with you and Uncle Sam. Your home was always a place of warmth welcoming in many family and friends in. Where we created
unforgettable memories that are etched forever in my mind. Now, I can envision you two strolling hand in hand in God´s heavenly garden, where you will bask in eternal love together for eternity.
