I regret not being able to attend myself. To my mother, Aunt Shirley, Uncle Tom and fellow grandchildren, I share in your grief and remembrances of our grandmother. While there is little consoling that can be accomplished at this sad time, I wish to share that none of you are alone in your grief and that this life is but a wisp of smoke and soon my grandmother and all of us will be reunited in that blessed day of Resurrection. I hope this finds you all well. My prayers and hopes are with you all.
