Roxane,
I will always remember your mom’s sweet smile. Praying for strength for you and your family.
I’m thinking of all of you at this sad time. We were so blessed to have such wonderful parents. I’m remembering so many good times. Aunt Irene and Uncle Fred were my God Parents and hold a special place in my heart.
Today you would have been 98! I miss you more than words, but am forever grateful for the life lessons and wisdom you provided and instilled. Our relationship was so special, and the void you left is real. I am thankful for God and His promise of a grand reunion, and know that you are enjoying Heaven and all its splendor. Love and miss you.
