Dear Family,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. You were all blessed to have her with you for 89 years. When I think of someone passing away I think of Ecclesiastes 3:4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. I think your mom is dancing being reunited with friends and family.
With Sympathies,
Frank and Denise Mustain

Diana,
It's tough to lose anyway, but especially your Mom. You should have many fond memories of her and we trust that is a huge comfort. Did not know that she was a member of St John's. Toni Pfister, one of my classmates attends their. There's probably others who we know who go there. May God's peace and the comfort of the Holy Spirit be with you and your siblings and other family members. Love, Doug & Phyllis
