A few stolen years years is all that we shared. You use to tell we run away together. You said be patient just wait a little longer. You left me now. But I will always be saving all my love for you

Dear Alyce and family, our hearts go out to all of you. We just found out about Theresa’s passing. We lost our precious daughter Angel last year to the virus. She was only 61. So we know how your hearts ache for her. Just remember she is only a memory away. Choose to smile as she would be smiling at you.She hasn’t left you, she only went home to be with Jesus. May His peace comfort you in those moments that seem to overcome you. You are in our prayers. Aunt Annette Mariani, Colorado Sporings, CO
