Michael, Marc, Monique & Mona,

I’m very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. You should take comfort in the fact that she was very close to Jesus and her eternal destination is certain. Your Mom and Michael played a part in my getting to know Jesus and for that I am eternally appreciative. She handled the difficulties in life with amazing poise and grace. I lost my Mom to cancer in January ’04. May God’s greatest eternal blessings be with you and your families as I am certain your Mom is now enjoying those blessings. I hope and pray that you are all doing well and would love to hear from you.

Until we meet again in the New Jerusalem, Peace!

Carmen was my Aunt and Godmother. She held a very special place in my heart and I will miss her deeply. She was the kind of person that went out of her way to help others. What a great quality to have. What's comforting is to know that she had Jesus in her heart and she is now with the Lord in all his glory.



Rest in Peace Aunt Carmen

I love you
