Our Grief, Our Love, Our Farewell
We know grief never ends, but it changes. I t's a passage, not a place to stay.
We also know the sense o f loss must give away if we are to value the life she lived. G rief is not a sign o f our weakness, nor a lack o f our faith It is the price o f love we had fo r her. We loved you, Your Family
