Sending thoughts of comfort and prayers for strength to you all. I am unable to be there in person as you say farewell but know my heart is with you at this time. May Natalie’s journey be filled with joy as she travels to that camp on the other side and know she will be greeted with songs, joyful shouts of welcome, and a feast to welcome her to the relatives who have gone before her. May the memories be a healing balm to your aching hearts.
