Anna Brulotte Obituary

Anna Marie Brulotte was called back to God on September 30, 2010. She was born April 17, 2008 in Bellingham, WA. Her short life filled all who knew her with immense joy. Her beautiful and bright soul gave us a glimpse of life in its most blissful form. Anna understood and gave unconditional love without abandon, especially to her mother and father and close family members. Her laugh was contagious and her smile would fill a room with sunshine. From birth, she had an independent spirit and required that life moved according to her plans. Every morning when she got up, her routine was to give the dogs a "treat," and pet them. Her sister Alice's fondest memories of her are of their adventures outside. Her favorite playmates were her brother and sister, although she befriended everyone she met almost immediately. She loved dogs, horses, helping her mother cook, playing with her numerous cousins, Elmo, camping, going on walks and playing with her friends Max, Lucy, Harvey, Nolan, Maddie, Duncan, Olivia, Kate, Jaedon, and Ava. She is going to be sorely missed by everyone who knew her and we all look forward to meeting her again in her heavenly glory. She is survived by her loving parents Robert and Melissa (Hansen) Brulotte of Bellingham, her sister Alice, her brother Samuel, Grandparents Ronald and Nancy Brulotte, Grandmother Judy Brulotte, Aunt Ronda Brulotte and Uncle Michael Trujillo, Aunt Reggie Brulotte and Uncle Shannon Duncan, Great Grandmother Michaele Hansen, Grandfather Eric Hansen and Cindy Carson, Grandmother Laura Hansen and Greg Bailey, Uncle and Aunt Steve and Nicole (Hansen) Gordon, Uncle and Aunt Joel and Leslie (Hansen) Clark Leslie (Hansen), her Godparents Nick and Rebecca Gonnella and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Anna was preceded in death by her Great Grandfather Rodney Hansen. A Vigil Service will be held at Church of the Assumption on Thursday, October 7th at 7 PM. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Church of the Assumption on Friday, October 8th at 1 PM followed by burial at Bayview City Cemetery. A reception will follow back at the church. Carpooling is encouraged. You may view photos of Anna and share memories with the family at www.westfordfuneralhome.com Memorial contributions may be made at Banner Bank.

The Lord's Prayer And Jesus taught his disciples:

Our father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever.

Leah

October 5, 2010

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die:
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to break down, and a time to build up.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh:
A time to mourn and a time to dance:
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.

I am so grateful that you have faith in the only person who can restore you and who offers the promise of seeing Anna again one day-Jesus. Knowing I will see my little girl again one day was the only thing I held on to for a very long time but it was the only thing powerful enough to see me out of the darkest valley you are in right now. My prayers for Him to hold you v ery close right now. And He promises to one day wipe every tear from your eyes.

A Light For Her


Pain and suffering is to its end in this child's life
We shall not weep for this child, for she is now in a place of beauty
Where there is no war, no hate, and no death
Eternal life is to be brought forth through God by a soft glowing flame:
Strong enough to hold all his children
Containing a prayer that which all prayers are made,
A life, that which all lives are created.
You can't see this flame, yet you always know it is there.
You can't touch this flame, yet you can always feel its presence
This child has now seen God, and God has a need for her.
So, you see, this child did not die, she is reborn.

October 2, 2010

Dear ones
You don't know me but I heard of your tragic loss through a friend. My heart breaks for your loss, the pain you must be feeling. I am praying for you and your family. I can see by her picture she was a sweet angel while here with you, now she is in the arms of Jesus. May He comfort you now at this time of deep agony which seems to have no purpose other than pain. Thinking and praying for you. Cheryl Peterson (Mt Vernon.)
