Mary was my Godmother and perhaps the most faithful person I have ever known. She was always so sure of God's power and love for her. I know things must have gotten her down from time to time, but she never showed it because her faith assured her that things would turn out okay in the end. Now, she is reunited with Louie and many other loved ones, and though we'll miss her here, her faith taught me that we'll see her again. Rest in peace, Aunt Mary...
