I’m grateful for the time we got to spend together during our extended visit in May 2019. I feel we really got to know and appreciate each other at long last. Rest in peace, Marjorie. You are always in our hearts.
Aunt Marjorie lived a very long, full life and passed away in a peaceful way … a way that most people pray to experience for themselves and others, who are dear to them. Many prayers will be offered for her.
May her soul Rest In Peace. Amen.
