Thoughts and prayers for all the family!
Larry and Ruby,
Not too long ago, we were where you are right now and we understand the depths of your grief and sadness. The pain of losing your mother will never completely go away. But as time passes, you become better at dealing with it. You will more often remember the good times and the joy you shared with Aunt Hazel and not so much of her suffering at the end. Lean on each other and your family when you can. We love you!
Donna and Dianna Richardson
