Bless all of you at this time of loss. Even though we all will miss her, time will
bring peace and we will rejoice in the fact she has also found peace. She has now joined her family that have gone before her. Although I was not able to see her as often as I would have liked to, she was always in my thoughts and always will be my favorite “Aunt Licha”. I will carry many memories of us together as I was growing up.
Deepest Condolences
