Joe and Maryann, Isabel was a loving wife and a caring and supportive mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her family and community were always first in her heart. As she joins those who have gone before her, her spirit lives in the ones she leaves behind. May she rest in peace.

Dear MaryAnne and Joe,

I have been thinking so much about Aunty Isabel and all the wonderful times we had on Rockland Street.

Aunty Isabel was the best cook ever and taught me so much on what it meant to be domestic, sharing and caring. I will miss her so very much. I only wish I could be there to say my good-bye for now.

Seeing Aunty Isabel last November was very special to me because I believe the Lord showed how sweet her heart was towards life. If I know anything about Aunty Isabel, it was especially true that she appreciated life. It is our loss that she is gone away from us.

I pray that sorrows lead her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren the gifted memories of how her pride of you all meant everything thing to her. Aunty Isabel's lived for her family. And God favor her for the selfless life she led.

In Loving Memory
And God Bless You,
Love
Joanne Brophy
