God is the light and the way to ever lasting life..Your family was blessed to have had a beautiful loving kind mother.. You all was reared with unconditional love and support..I remember your mom mostly from Scarborough street when Ruby and I was in elementary school..She was always kind and welcoming to me. A soft spoken women.. You all had an relationship with your mom that set the atmosphere for others to follow..I was very young when I used to go to Mrs Jones house with Ruby ..I say that to say this,we must live what we talk. Ones life can have an positive impact or a negative impact on others life..I often reflect back to her loving relationship with Ruby Janet (Juliette) and her sons which help taught me how to have a good understanding relationship with my children in rearing them up when I had became a mother.. Serving God comes with setting a do right foundation..Much love to the family.. Stay Blessed..A angel has gone home...

Out of God's deepest mercy
A dawn will come from on high,
Light for those shadowed by death,
A guide for our feet on the way to peace.
Praying that God will surround you with his love and that God's presence will fill you with peace.

With deepest sympathy ,
Your friend Elisa
