STOKES - Muriel MERRY CHRISTMAS MOM Though it has only been one year it seems like more because we know it will be a long time before we can be together again. We miss your humor and your wisdom and the great amount of simple pleasure it gave you when we were together. We are comforted in the knowledge that you and Dad are together again and that even though you are not here in body that you are here in spirit. That you and Dad are watching and guiding us with God's help. So while we celebrate Christmas this season you and Dad can look in on us and know that aside form some small things, we are all fine. Merry Christmas
