  4. My dearest sister-in-law, Gail,
    My words can’t express my sense of loss; so fast and unexpected!
    I’ll always remember, the closeness we shared for years; the fun, the laughter, and shared moments of happiness and even loss with moments of comfort in bereavement.
    You ,John, Marilyn, and I, will enjoy each others company for eternity some day soon, along with all the rest of our dear family members.
    Rest assured, in the comfort of the Lord, that as the remaining eldest member of our family, that I shall do all that I’m able, to tend to the needs of all the family members, and never let them forget you,and all the fond memories we shared.
    May the all knowing and loving God, grant you everlasting Peace, in the light of his Grace, and all forgiving being, until we are united again in everlasting life. Amen
