Dear Family,
My sincerest condolences at the passing of your Mom, Kay. I first met her when we worked together on the Holy Family Variety Show many, many years ago. She was a great sport and such a loving devoted friend and parishioner. May she rest in sweet eternal peace.
God bless,

Dear family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. I know how hard it is to suddenly have to try to cope with the painful void death leaves. Especially after losing a parent. I hope you can find comfort in God’s promise that soon “…all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life…”(John 5 :28,29) God will remember her and bring her back.
