Gilbert: I know you know this, but your family is beautiful! I can see where you get it from. The rosary they put together with family and friends was lovely! I felt the love they have for you and each other. It made me think of the kinda auntie, daughter, sister, and friend that I am and that I want to be. You touched so many people, those memories will last forever,their love will last forever...and that's a beautiful thing. Your family have peace of mind now that you are resting in peace and in good hands; for you are gone, but not far away.
