My Aunt V was the kindness and sweetest lady. She may be gone, but her loving spirit will always be with me and those who knew her. May the Lord show her His kindness. GOD BLESS MY DEAR AUNT V.

Into the wind her spirits soar, encumbered by her earthly chains no more.
Gifts from God like you aren't meant to stay on Earth forever. The Lord was bound to call you back sooner than later. May you watch over your family that spans the globe and guide us with your wisdom and a gentle hand.
You are we're and are loved beyond measure.
