"All "kids" and families; I'm sorry for your loss, but also glad you have the blessed hope of being reunited with Mom and Dad and Joyce. Barbara M. told me this morning about her "home going". God is good and I trust you will feel His presence and arms of love surrounding you all at this sad and glorious time in your life. God richly bless you with comfort "knowing where she is". Love and God's blessings be upon your lives. Rosemary"
In loving memory of
Jean McCoy
