I remember your whole family with fond memories. Wanda, you were my first "best friend". When mom told me your mom passed away it brought back so many good thoughts of you and your family. Your mother was a wonderful person and a great blessing to your
family and all her friends. I'm sure she will be missed by you all.

Dear cousins, God declares in Psalm 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." May the promises of God's Word and the work of the Spirit comfort and strengthen you in the loss of your mother.
