As my first grade teacher, she taught me so many of the most important things I know. Although it was more than 50 years ago, I can still recall her kindly manner and wisdom to this very day, and I always will.
Rest in Peace, Mrs. Fitzpatrick.

To be absent from the body
Is to be present with the Lord
The dust returns to earth
The spirit returns to God Who gave it
Rest in Peace Great Aunt Marcella.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye. But little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
I'm sure my father and mother, her parents, and siblings have welcomed my aunt with open arms. She will be greatly missed.

No matter how old we are, losing a love one is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know. But her goodness, her caring and her wisdom live on, like a legacy of love that will always be with you. With deepest sympathy,
From USGS Paul and Brenda Johnson
