Nancy, Ed, and Dick, please know that in this time of sorrow and loss my thoughts and prayers are with you. Reba was always nice to me. I respected her in her struggle as a single parent and appreciated her love of art & poetry. And I thank her for bringing Nancy into the world! "There will be no more darkness, There is no more night, no more night. There will be no more sadness, only joy and light, joy and light. Lift your eyes beyond the hills and see the dawn. There is beautiful mercy, in the arms of the Holy One. Go in Peace, God be with You, Go in Peace, Be at Rest....With the Saints and the Angels, Now You are Free....Go In Peace. love, Karen Kitchen
