Clarice and Family,
I can only imagine your sadness at this time and I am praying that with God's help and fond memories the sadness will lessen. Your mother was always so kind, she listened and cared. She was one of the most attractive women I have ever met and her soul was just as beautiful. The emptiness in your hearts can be overwhelming but please find comfort in knowing that she is home with God and looking down and smiling with pride at her wonderful family.
With love and sympathy,
The Litoborski Family
