Writing from the family:

“We have come to the point in the road where we must take different paths and say goodbye for now. Although you were taken away mercifully, we will remember this day with great sadness and heartache. We will treasure the happy memories of you as we accept the heartache of your loss. Although you are no longer here with us, the memory of your love and devotion shall remain and withstand the test of time.”
