To my cousins , I always find peace in the spiritual writings of Gibran and I thought you might like this . " The reality of life is life itself, whose beginning is not in the womb,and whose ending is not in the grave.For the years that pass are naught but a moment in eternal life; and the world of matter and all in it is but a dream compared to the awakening which we call the terror of Death. " kahlil Gibran

Aunt Olga: Of all the people I have known in my life, you were always considered a most special person who cared enough to advise and tell me what was right to do always in a very kind way. I always looked up to you and will always remember that. I know you are at peace in God's Kingdom and with my uncle.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” Matthew 6:19-21. Mom, this was your way of life; there is no doubt among any of us that you are in heaven….we will miss you always, until we meet again. Love, Donna and Gary
