I would like to announce that there will be a memorial mass celebration in honor of my Aunt on June 3, 2006 @ 10:00 am @ St. Frances de Sales Church in Riverside to celebrate her catholic faith. All friends and family are welcome to attend. It will also be announced in the press enterprise June 1st & 2nd. My Aunt was proud of her catholic faith and never converted over to anything else. we all miss her dearly but we know she is watching her children, her brothers & sisters and nieces & nephews everyday. In behalf of the Avila Family we would like to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

my auntie midigie was a beautiful person. i loved her desserts and how she was always crafty. i miss the way she used to give a hug and a kiss to say hi or bye. she'll always be in my heart and i know she's not in pain and i know shes not hurting, she's looking down at all of us with a smile. i'll remember the times i had with her. for now i know i say good bye, but i dont think of it that way, right now im saying see ya later, because i know one day that i'll be with her again. until then my heart will grieve, but over time my heart will heal. shes at peace, thats the only thing that make me ok with her being gone. i love you auntie midgie, see ya later.

My heart goes out to the family of Midge. I was good friends with her niece, Renee and we often visited Midge on a regular basis to visit and hang out. She was such a wonderful and good hearted person and she will be deeply missed by everyone. I just wanted to give my blessing to her family.

Auntie Midge, we layed you down to rest yesterday, it was so hard to say goodbye, how the pain of losing you, all the tears I cried. you had a heart of gold that always shined through and through, no matter what anybody needed you always seemed to do. I know you didn't leave this earth on purpose or in vain, and I know we will be someday, together again. You made permanant footprints of love on our hearts that will always remain, the love we all have for you will never ever change. Although you left us way too soon, we all still feel so blessed to be able to have you for all those years, but now its time for our angel to rest. Auntie Midge you were always an angel, but now you have your wings......

Auntie you watch over my babies and I promise you I will watch over yours, I LOVE YOU more than any words can say, the empty spot in our family will never go away. But I know you are at peace and watching over all of us. I will miss you terribly for the rest of my life. Your Niece Dreb...

Lee and Stella,

I offer my pure hearted condolences and ask God to comfort you at this time. I never personally knew Midge but would see her on our street frequently, She always had a big smile and was happy and friendly. But now it is time for her to brighten up heaven. Sincerely, your neighbor

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
