To the family: I once read that when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. May the wonderful treasure of Reeshemah fill your hearts with love and bring you peace. And may our heavenly father comfort you by means of friends and family, and his word (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
