May God grant all of the Aby family peace in the upcoming days. Prayers for all of you.
Debra Anne (Suhr) Bishop says
Jari was my Mom’s very best friend and that made her my friend too. No matter what I was up to, whether it be far fetched or even stupid, she’d just chuckle and say, “Oh, Deb.” It probably sounds trivial in the telling, but her love and acceptance and prayers count for a lot. For my Mom, Shirley Suhr Moore, she is dancing and leaping and so happy to have Jari join her up their with their Lord! To all the family, may God uphold you during your grief and restore you. I send you my love and prayers.
Christie Liles says
