“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, you will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” – Matthew 6:9-13

The family would like to thank the staff at Magnolias in Chambersburg as well as Manor Care for the love, attention and care they bestowed on our Mother during her final days.

A private memorial gathering will be held by the family at a later date.
