"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." -Revelations 21:4 (KJV)

Per her wishes, no public service will be held; a private memorial will take place at a later date.
