    Nothing is harder than saying good-bye to someone you love. May you find peace, comfort and the courage to face the days ahead. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    She was an absolute sweetheart and I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. Jack and Carol, you were so good to her and she felt the love, no doubt. God bless, Love to both of you.
