I’m so sorry for your loss. I can see she had an amazing life and am happy it was such a long one for all of her family to share in. Prayers that she is enjoying her time visiting other family that had to leave before her. I’m sure she will sit in a place of honor at the Lords table while waiting for others in her family to join her. Peace be with you all.
