We enjoyed visiting with all of you this past week, to celebrate Aunt Mary's life. It was good to rekindle all the old memories of our times together. I'm sure Mary would have loved being there. We all know that she has truly returned home....God has lovingly embraced her in his arms and welcomed her into Eternity. We will all miss Mary and her wonderful Irish sense of humor. I will keep you all in my prayers.

It was good to visit with all of you today and to help celebrate Mary's life. Now is the time to put your trust in God and turn to him in your time of sorrow. Mary was very blessed with a loving family, loving friends and a loving relationship with God. Christ tells us in the gospel of John 13:35, "This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Mary was definitely a disciple of Christ as evidenced by the love she had for others and the love others showed her.

In Matthew 10:32, the Lord say, "Whoever acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father." We are sure the Lord not only acknowledged Mary, but said well done, welcome home. Your family was truly blessed to have such a wonderful woman in your life. We know she will be missed but because she was a woman of great faith, she is now truly home.
