I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one in death is never easy. You can find comfort in God's promise that we can see our loved ones again at John 6:40 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13.

PEACE!

A true definition of a SAINT..Aunt Mary dedicated her life to helping others, including my own mom, whenever she was in need. I'm sure heaven will welcome her with open arms to join Vincent and Jimmy!
We wish we could be there, but the upcoming week is full of long awaited doctor appointments.
We will be there spiritually for SURE!

Dear Louise, Cathy, Mary Ann and Families,
How I will miss my Aunt Mary! She was the keeper of the Maruca memories and recently had shared some family incidents regarding my dad. It was not only informative but hit on some family quirks! Her kindness was beyond measure and her love for the Lord, her strength. She was my inspiration to live well as she aged with grace and mercy toward all! How I appreciated her making a trip out west in her latter years with Cathy to give my Mom some encouragement.
I will miss making those phone calls just to say hi.
