To my Cousins,

When I was in church a few Sunday's ago, I was thinking of Aunt Mary and the following poem came to me and I would like to share it with you.

Now when she met her savior
She met Him with a smile
He healed her wounded spirit
And owned her as His child
Around the throne of grace
He appointed her soul a place
She's on the battle field for the Lord.

Your Cousin Kenneth Washington

Dear Sheryl, Please accept my condolences for the loss of your Mother. Mary was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever. She always seemed to have a smile every time she came with your Dad to the VA. She will be sadly missed by those who loved her but she is now with our Lord.
