Oh, Delores, and Ken, my heart hurts for you. It’s so hard to say good by to your child . I’ll miss her, she was special to me. I was looking forward to starting to get together with her.
When I think of her going to Heaven, I think of Debbie, running to meet her with open arms. Our girls are together, with the Lord. I’m looking so forward to seeing them again. Were praying for you. Wish we could be there. Love Mary, and Art
