I've done my work,I've sang my song I've done some good,I've done some wrong And I shall go where I belong,the Lord has willed it so.He knows my heart and every thought He knows what pain and joy I've brought,And by His love I shall be taught The Way to Him I know And so good night I must go and sweet wild bloom.We will miss your sweet smile,Words of encouragement and gentle way. Love You.

Aunt Aileen was always unique and ahead of her time, the photo captures her personality perfectly. She raised great kids and her family turned out beautifully-She always showed the young and old how life should be lived- will remember her always

Grief will not last, joy will return,
For through our tears we clearly see
That while we part but for a time,
With Christ we'll spend eternity. —D. De Haan

Death separates us for a time; Christ will reunite us forever.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
