Kevin and Malinda Thomson Ruben and family, We are sorry to hear about your mother. She was a nice person and a great mother to you. She is in a better place and out of the pain her illness had caused her. We know that she is watching over you and that you will see her again some day. We know that families are forever and that you will be with her through all eternity. We also know that she is very happy where she is at in heaven. I know that you all miss her very much, but remember that it is a very short separation until you will see her again. Ruben, please translate this for your father, because I don't know a lot of spanish just enough to get me into trouble. Kevin and Malinda Thomson
