See Condolences

Morgan, Val & I were so sorry to learn of your Mother's passing. You and Farrell are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray that you will increasingly remember all of the good times in her life on this earth and that the pain of her passing will ease with time. I lost my mother last year after a long illness, and eventually I was relieved that she was no longer in pain. Even now, there are still some days when her memory is so thick in the air that I can almost see her and I remember all of the sweet moments that we shared together in her life. God bless you and your family.

Bree & Morgan, Jay and I have many fond memories of Cheryl. Jay fixed several things at her apartment when she couldn't get her landlord to do them. We also had many happy trips to Yotinis! Cheryl was always so upbeat most of the time and always looked so calm and serene. About a month before she passed away, Jay was telling her about a book he was reading "A Course in Miracles". She said it sounded like what she needed, so we gave her a copy. I don't know how much of it she was able to read. Towards the end she was very tired, even too tired to read. She will always be in our hearts. We know she is in heaven with the angels watching over the two of you. Our prayers are also with you. We will always celebrate her life and not mourn her death. Peace, Love, and Joy

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
