"I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sending My condolences and prayers with the family.
I took the children to the park to play. When we grew tired, we drank water and ate crackers as we sat at the picnic table to watch the ripples in the river. We laughed, took pictures, as we shared memories and sights. A black and red baby wasp fell from atop a tall tree. It crawled towards the edge of the table and made two right turns before crossing to the other side. The wasps symbolize resourcefulness, protection and guidance of others, determination, organizational skills, ability to defend their grounds and loved ones, reconstruct their lives, and possess great social skills amongst their community. This symbol is representative a strong woman that meet every bit of these characteristics with a tenacity of life like no other. A strong, beautiful soul that knew the importance of all things sacred such as community, family and close friends. For her, I select a green candle, because the color green embodies growth, but most importantly LOVE. She is never completely gone and never forgotten so long as we carry her memory with love and honor within our hearts. Salute! Until we meet again.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
