Dear Ina Family,
Your mom was a treasure. There are two things that will sustain you through this loss – your faith and your cherished memories. I know that without a doubt your dad has already welcomed her into heaven and that she rests in the arms of a loving God – her God. She is hearing God say: “Well done, good and faithful servant!” May God bless each of you with comfort and peace. May Bernadette rest in peace!
Our love to each of you,
Anita Maroun and the entire Maroun family
