This is beautiful. My love and prayers for comfort to her family and loved ones.
What a lovely tribute to a woman who was so well loved on this Earth I find myself thinking every day how good it is that she had days of playing and loving sweet Hana. May Marian find that her most cherished, hope-filled, and happy beliefs about the afterlife are all true; and may all of her loved ones be comforted and healed from the sorrow of her passing. The greater the love, the greater the loss. May every memory of Marian and her continual presence bring you ever-increasing peace and joy.
Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not wane; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will cease. – Isaiah 60:20
