Small Song

Raised up from love by God to call
to peace and trials, noble all
and soaring mighty, meek and small.

Who knows what blessed thing this is
which goes beyond before it gives
the universe of faith it lives?

Time gone, and here, and yet to be,
the joys one soul has yet to see
for time within eternity.

God's love reborn, with grace to bring
the light of hope, this humble thing
to that quiet place where angels sing.

Dear Sandra and Hank and families

So sorry to hear the passing away of your beautiful Mother. She will truly be missed by all. She was a special woman who always had that twinkle in her eye when she would greet you and a lovely smile to go with it.

Sincere sympathy to all of you.

Dear Sandy & Bob and Hank and Rita
and All of My Cousins,
I was saddened to hear the news of Aunt Peggy's passing.
She was a strong and courageous, dignified and loving woman, and the last of her generation.

What things, both terrible and wonderful, she must have seen!
And to see her beautiful family, living and prospering in the greatest nation of all - her prayer and dream - after the horrors of the Armenian Genocide so many years ago.

It is the Armenian people, above all others, who understand the great importance of Family.
We have a true example in Aunt Peggy, to remind us why.

Keep Aunt Peggy's love and courage with you always.
Let the memory of her devotion and sacrifice for her family comfort you now, in your time of sadness, and endure always, from generation to generation.

Aunt Peggy and her memory are a gift from God.

Love,
