    Mary was a great lady with a wonderful family. She was fortunate to be cared for with love and devotion in her time of need just as she cared for her loved ones in their time of need.

    Suzi, there is no comfort in this, yet, she has gone to the safe harbor where she waits for her loved ones. The tie that binds you together can never be broken. Her love still surrounds you.
