Jean,
How blessed you are to be able to have had your Mom for as long as you did. She live a wonderful long life. It was an honor to have known her and your father. I’m sure you are comforted knowing she home with Jesus and her sweetheart.
Much love and sincere condolences,
Kim
Sad I won't be able to make it to the funeral for Great Aunt Aurelia. I only knew her when I was a toddler, but the memory's were good, she was very kind.
Dear Sirstins family,
I send my condolences to your family at the loss of Aurelia. I was a co-worker at Mountain Bell. Her brother was my younger brother's mission president in Ireland. May you have fond memories of her in the years to come.
