Like I said to you your mum will be leaping around now in paradise and she will have the full capacity of her body. How happy she will be. Sending love and our condolescences to you, Diane and family. How greatful and blessed we are to have the atonement and have forever families. "
Werner & Jo Sandner - " Please accept my condolences for your family and yourself at this time with the passing of your mother.
