I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in the words of Psalm 34:18 – that God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit.
Aunt Erie was a wonderful lady, very forthright and honest with an amazingly positive outlook. I admire the way she lived her life on her own terms, including how she would leave us. We will all miss her terribly and remember the many good times we spent with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
