Dear Cousins Joey & John, please know we are here for you during this difficult time. Your mom was a special lady and she will be deeply missed. Her legacy is one of positivity, joy and leaving this world a little better than when she arrived. We will forever be grateful for her impact on all our lives. In biblical numerology, 7 symbolizes completion or perfection. It is said that God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th. May she too now enjoy eternal rest. We love and admire you Tia and you will never be forgotten.
