Khamdeng (Suffragan Bishop McClain) and siblings,
You had the sweetest mother with the most beautiful smile. She loved her family and it really showed. I will cherish the fact that she visited Maurice and his family here at our residence and she was so proud of him. You don't find grandmothers like that who are brave enough to venture into unknown territories to see how her babies are doing. She will be missed by everyone who ever met her. If you need anything don't hesitate to call on me and Tony.
Love, Lillie (McGregor) Ward
