Love and miss you Aunt Mary 💕You have taken young wings and now you can fly
“Grief never ends…but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith…It is the price of love.”
Sincere condolences to you, Chan, and the rest of Mary’s family for her recent passing. Our thoughts are with you…now, and in the days ahead.
With Sympathy.
Jerry and Mary Chaffee
Not a day goes by that I dont close my eyes and see you in a memory. I loved laughing with you. I loved your beautiful smile and the love you had for me and Bella and Lilah. They saw your picture today and asked about you. I told them your are looking down on them from heaven and that you love them. You will always have a special place in my heart. I love you!
The death of a loved one is the most devastating experience a family can face. At times, the loss may seem unbearable, but please know that there are those who care, and more importantly, Psalm 34:18 tells us that God “is close to the brokenhearted.” He “is the God of all comfort”. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) My condolences to Mary’s family.
