Iris and Ann: Our loved ones leave the world, but never our hearts, and remain part of us. Jesus told us: “Come to me all of you who are weary and heavy laiden, and I will give you rest” (Mathew 11:28). Strangely I feel convicted to add, worry not about past things said
or left unsaid to Dee, he is surrounded by God's love and would wish you only peace and happiness in this earthly life.............

My Dearest Ann,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your Mom. May God wrap His loving arms around you both, now and in the days and months to come, and provide the comfort that only He can. Sweetheart, you know that you are very special to our family and we are here for you and your mother any time you need us for anything. Please do not hesitate to lean on us. Our hearts and arms are welcoming, our shoulders broad, and our love for you is steadfast.

I'd like to share a poem with you:

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

With all of our love and support,
Wendy & Tiff
