Alma is sleeping now but we know her spirit is listening. Our love is with you, as it always has and ever will be. We think of you and remember your sweet smile and soft hair; your kind ways; your quiet strength with which you endured in times of trouble. Your suffering is over now; may you rest well. We know that you will be at home with the Lord and His angels. May He bless you forever and ever.
