Terri - what a nice thing you are doing for a friend. The author is Susan Florence.

Mary's funeral was today. Although it was truly sad to be there and see her wonderful children grieve so much, I know that Mary is at peace. I took some comfort in that and knowing how very proud she must be of the special gifts that she left behind in her kids. Her son read a beautiful, heartfelt letter that made me believe that she must be smiling in heaven and certainly dancing the night away.

Peace be with you, Ruth
