My condolences to the family at this very time. Please accept my deepest sympathy for you loss. May you find comfort in God's word the Bible at Revelation 21:3,4.
Aunt Maggie all my childhood memories have you and Uncle Ishmal in them. That summer my grandparents took me out there and you took me to pick to pick strawberries and horseback riding. And all the times that you guys came out to California to visit. I always had so much fun with you both. I know you are up in Heaven enjoying yourself with Uncle Ishmal, my grandparents, great-grandma Flora and Aunt Opal laughing and having a good time. I love you and you will always be in my heart and thoughts.
Praying for all that knew her.
My thoughts and Prayers are with all the family.
Marilyn and family,
So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are for you and your family.
