Angie & I were saddened to hear that Page’s fight was over. Our heartfelt condolences go to out to you and your families. Page was such a comfort to us when our mother passed away and when we saw her it was reassuring that there were little things that linked the three sisters together. Please know that she is now at peace in the hands of God. And all of you will cherish the memories of your mother as you think of her spirit, her endurance, and her grace. Her love and guidance for each of you will show you the way forward.
