The celebration of the life of an amazing wife and mother is in progress. My memories are many of Mrs. Babeu. Whether on Whitman Street or Church Street I was always made to be part of the family when in the Babeu home. The smile in the photo on the obituary notice is filled with the warmth she shared with everyone. She will be missed. Our condolences to the entire family. You will be in our prayers.

Dear Uncle Ray, Peter, George, John, Mary, Theresa, Joe, Lucy, Fran, Veronica, Paul, Shaun and all of your families,

Dear Aunt Eileen, Uncle Rodney, Kathy, Paul, Melissa, Martha, Kyle, Ellen and all of your families,

Its been been a little past four years since we've seen some of you and much much longer for most of you. I truly understand the depth of your sorrow and will pray for you all. They always say that time heals... I can tell you that it will get better, but you find that there will always be sad moments. You will be sad for the fact that you miss their love, but you will know that Aunt Helen has gone home to Jesus. Her parents and Samatha along with my Dad greeted her with open arms. You know she will be taken care of.

When things settle down, Uncle Ray, Its time to take care of you. I know your kids will be by your side. Regardless of the fact that your family is scattered all over the country, you remain tight.

Be kind to each other, love each other and remember all your family is with you

With much love,

Michelle, Larry and Nicholas.
