    Dear family,
    It is with both sadness and joy that we come to you to offer our sympathy and condolences to you. Josie lived a good long life and the Lord had other plans for her and called her home to be with Him. You were very fortunate to have had her in your lives and now we must be happy for her as she is no longer in pain and suffering. May God's comfort and peace be yours as you say your final goodbyes here on earth and await that time when you will meet her again.
    Love, prayers & sympathy....Joan & Richard Porter
