She is no longer suffering. She is now at peace , She is up in heaven dancing with the angels now and with her heavenly father. My heart goes out to the entire family. You will all be in my prayers.

Jake and Patti, please extend to your family my prayers for comfort and peace as you celebrate your mother's life. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" is a sure hope for those who put their trust in Christ. Prayerfully, P. Marg
