Butterflies: they guide us on the journey of freedom, freedom from past through the ascension process of becoming higher our self. P.S. I add a monarch butterfly to every memorial arrangement piece. God Bless.
So sorry for your loss. Ardys will surly be missed. Sorry we can’t be there. Will keep you in our prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Dennis and I had planned to drive up for the wake, but the weather between here and there was dangerous and so we hope our prayers will give you comfort as you say goodbye to your wonderful mother, my beloved Aunt.
Brad and family; Sorry for the loss of your dear mother. Look to Christ for comfort at this time.
