May god be with your family in this time of sadness for them. My the peace of knowing you are at rest and out of pain help comfort them. Go rest high on that mountain for your work on earth is done. Now your work of watching over them and taking care of them from heaven has just begun. When in time of need let them feel your butterfly kisses on there face.
