We rejoice and grieve with you at Aunt Jean's homecoming. When we saw her in June, she was so happy to be with her dear sisters, so warm and loving. We have always valued her strong character and her strong faith. God bless all of you as you share memories and trust your mother into God's hands, where she has always been. With our love, Cathy and Leo Van Arragon
