Dear Friends, I am sad that you must part with your dear mother for a time. I remember her as being one of the kindest and loveliest of women. I treasure the memories I have of growing up in Almo and being influenced by EXEMPLARY women , one of whom was your mother. May the love of our Heavenly Father and his son bring peace and comfort to your hearts. Love and sincere sympathy, Karma Shakespear
