Dee Wilson May 28, 2017, 10:57 AM | To the Shintani family, We send our deepest love and sympathy at the loss of your mom, Jane. As you grieve though, know that we share your grief as we considered her, and all of you, part of our family as well. And even though we all feel sadness at losing her, we can also take heart that she is now together with those she loved who have already left us, and that we too will all be together with her again. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all… The Wilson family, Aunt Dee, Phil, Tami, Gail & Gidget. |
