Her funeral service was so beautiful and touching ...The words of your aunt were so very thoughtful and loving ... it was a true representation of your mom! God bless to you all ... and know your mom will always be with you.

To Pat, Tommy, Jimmy and Paula and grandchildren:
Our deepest sorrow on the loss of your most wonderful and caring mother/grandmother, the epitomy of motherhood. Her good deeds,( as well as your father's ) to our family and others over the years will never be forgotten. The grief of the loss of one's mother seems unbearable but she lives on in your daily lives just by thinking of her and doing as she would do.

She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet . . . She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31ff.


Sincerely,
Philip and Allan Tutunjian
Ron and Robin Hines and family
