Special thank you to Rene, the Eucharistic Minister with St. Jude Catholic Church; directors and staff of Church Funeral Services. In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away. You suffered much in silence. You fought so hard to stay. You faced your task with courage, you felt your hope descend, but still you kept on fighting, until the very end. God saw you getting tired. When a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you, and whispered, "Come with Me." So, when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful, free from pain. We could not wish you back, to suffer that again.

This lady raised me from very young to my teenage years and almost always lived very close to my family.
She was such a friendly person and I was so close to she and her boys Charles and Johnny.
She had a full life and I am so grateful for that. She will now rest in peace.
