Pass out of the shadow into a purer light Stepping behind the curtain getting a clearer sight. Passing out of the shadow into eternal day. Why do we call it dying? She's just gone away.
The family wishes to thank their friends and relatives for calls, visits, flowers, and all acts of kindness shown during the illness and death of our dear mother.
