    Dear Denis and family… We were surprised and saddened by the passing of your daughter. The web of life does not always follow the logic that we humans would apply to it, however like the setting of the sun, there continues to be a radiance long into the evening reminding us of the glorious day which has just past.

    My sincerest condolences to you all. I am thinking of you all and praying for you. Have comfort knowing that she IS with her Lord God. She remained faithful to Him all her life and now she has been rewarded.

    As her best friend, I will always remember the many, many good times together, all our trips, our daily visits to each others houses and being a part of each others wedding.
    Nobody can or ever will be as dear and as true a friend to me as she was. She was a sister to me.

    God Bless You All. Mary Jane (Kingsley) Kells.
