Dear All,
I wanted to send you all condolences since we have suffered a loss in our family. Aunt Terry lived a long, wonderful life and I am happy she is finally at peace and surrounding us all. I remember when she used to send gifts to me and the packaging on the gifts was so pretty I did not even want to open it up to see what was inside. She always sent very high quality clothes and she never did forget my birthday. She was a dear friend to my mother Karen, and a wonderful mentor as my mom was growing up. I will truly miss her living among us but I am sure she will be with me always, and always with the family in spirit.
With Love and Fondness
Lauren Johnson and Steven Hon.
