    Dear Lee, Beth, and John,
    I didn’t find out about your mom’s passing until after her funeral. I am so sorry for your loss. I really think you guys were so blessed to have her in your lives for such a long time, because not all of us are fortunate enough for our parents to live into their 90’s! She really was a beautiful woman, both inside and out, and SUCH a SWEET and GRACIOUS LADY!!! Please know I am praying for the eternal rest of her soul with God in Heaven where there is no pain and suffering at all. Know, also, that all three of you are in my prayers for grace and strength from God to bear and heal from your loss at this sad time in your lives. I
    know you all have many beautiful memories you shared with your mom, and please let those help to comfort you. Sincerely, Norma Aubey Lewis
