    To my dear cousins, Delyn, Denise, and David - while not there in person today, I am there in spirit... wanting to send my condolences to your family on the passing of aunt Bev. When my mom Rayola died two years ago, there was nothing more touching than to have aunt Bev stand up from her wheelchair with aunt Kay at the side of my moms casket to say goodbye to their sister. Aunt Bev was the last one of that generation, and other than aunt Lenore, they have all passed within the past 2 years. I will have great memories of her to enjoy, as they all enjoy being reunited on the other side. We will be in touch and wish you much love today and going forward. There is joy in the great Plan of Salvation for us all.
    Brian Collard and family...
