My condolences and prayers to The Family of Bernice Alston.
Dear Uncle Leonard,
We are deeply sorry for the loss of your dear mother. Losing your mom at any age is incredibly difficult. We celebrate her beautiful 86 years of life and hold you, your siblings, grandchildren, and the entire family in our thoughts and prayers.
May her love bring you all peace and comfort as you reminisce and hold close a lifetime of beautiful memories. Though she may no longer be with you physically, her love will always remain. In every gentle breeze, you may feel her touch; in every cherished memory, her presence will live on. She will walk beside you every dayβunseen and unheard, but always near. So loved, so deeply missed, and forever treasured in your hearts.
As this bittersweet note comes to a close, I'm reminded of a special childhood memory of time spent together in Queens with my late grandfather, Abraham Alston, your mother, and all of you. I remember us cutting up and laughing in the living room of that white-and-gray house on 107-98 156th Street in Jamaica, New York. Those moments are memories I will always cherish.
May those beautiful memories bring you comfort during this difficult time. Your mother's love and the memories she created will forever be a part of your family.
With heartfelt love and sympathy, Love your niece Roshowna A Barnes and Family.
