God bless you Aunt Kathryn. You are now forever united with your sisters and brothers. And I’m sure your parents were there with open arms.
Prayers for all of you during this difficult time. Maggie graduates Saturday but know you all are in my thoughts. I just could not make it work to get everything in place. We are so blessed to have the mother’s we did . Blessed to have had the love of an incredible extended family as well. Prayers for God’s peace.
So very sorry for your loss. We count ourselves blessed to have known Mrs. Alley and to have been welcomed in her and Mr. Alley’s home. We have many wonderful memories of Mrs. Alley. She will be missed. The Good News is that we will all see her again in Heaven one day.
May the Lord bless and give you comfort during this difficult time.
In Christian Love,
