To Laura and all her family, I was so sorry to hear of the death of your mother--also the loss to her grandchildren and great grandchild. While I did not know her, I know that she raised a wonderful daughter in Laura and that she must have touched so many lives in a positive way. I send my deepest sympathy in these dark times, but hope that the memories you hold dear will give you comfort. Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. ~Rossiter Worthington Raymond
