Dear Aunt Rita and Family: Although all our hearts are heavy with Tante Yvette's passing, we should also be smiling because of all the wonderful memories she gave us.....she shared in our lives' joyous moments as well as in our saddest of times...she loved us all unconditionally and what more beautiful legacy than that for one to leave. Please know you are all in my thoughts, my prayers, and most definitely in my heart. With My Love, Joanie

Aunt Rita:
You are always in my prayers but most especially at this time of so great a loss. Taunt Yvette will never be forgotten as she brought so much love and joy into all of our lives. May Christ who call her, take her to himself; may choirs of angels welcome her and lead her to the bosom of Abraham. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
