I never forgot our talk the day before. She was so happy she was going home to see her family. There was a bird perched a top our deck fence and it wouldn't leave and wouldn't stop singing, she said that sounds like a bird and I said it's your bird she retorted "singing me home". Special lady.

Meme--
I just found out today about your passing from your grandson Mark. I will never forget how you welcomed me into the neighborhood and your home. I always felt like your home was my second home. You were a memorable person and my children ADORED you. You will be greatly missed by Michael and Amber too. I'm so glad I got to spend many a holiday with you and Pepe. And the ceramics we made---what fun! I still have so many of the ornaments decorating my tree every year. May you have peace...and tell Pepe love him too. Love you!!!

AMINI CHRISTI SONG & PRAYER
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O, good Jesus, hear me.
Within thy wounds, O Lord, hide me.
Seperated from you, let me never be.
From the evil one, protect me.
At the hour of my death, call me.
Oh Jesus, call me.
Close to you, Jesus bid me.
That with all the saints, I may praise Thee.
Praise you forever, and forever.
Praise you forever. Amen.
Please take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over All of you.

She had a zest for living enjoying time with all
If you needed any prayer said she was the one to call. No memories were left behind when speaking of her past, of family moments, fun, she always
salways laughed. Now she's with other family, and she waits for you
and me, until we meet again dear Aunt in our hearts you'll always be. L menino

I am so sad to read of Marie's passing. I always enjoyed going to see her. She always talked of her family, and told me such nice stories. She was a great lady. I'll miss her crafts, recipes and most of all her always trying to feed me. She gave me some flower seeds years ago, I will always have a memory of her each spring. You had a great mom, grandmother, great-grandmother.

Meme was the first to welcome me to the "family". She was such a great person - I loved her dearly. I suggested she adopt me because she would be the great Mother I never had. She will be missed by so many, and forever loved.
