So sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose a loved one. I pray you find comfort in God's promise found at John 6:40 which says that soon we will see all our loved ones again. My deepest condolences to your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Ann's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of her. Aunt Ann was an amazing Mom & strong woman. She was such a great support to my Mum & I assume they are in a kitchen cooking for everyone right now. She will be missed. I am thinking of you all & sending prayers your way.

I am so sorry to hear that Aunt Anna passed. God Bless her. I have many wonderful memories of us all being together as kids either at the Joyce's house, Aunt Betty's or our house on Termon Ave. I will miss her wit, her humor, her beautiful blue eyes and that smile which lit up a room.
