Words can hardly express the loss that I feel for my dear Aunt Mary. Over that years after my own mom passed away in 1976, Aunt Mary was like another mom to me. Although we didn't get to see each other that often (since I live in California), we would chat on the phone from time to time and were able to visit a few times in person over the years. It meant so much to me that she visited me at my home in California and met my children.
The last time I saw Aunt Mary was when she came with her son Ed and his wife Carol to attend a memorial service that I held for my late brother John in August, 2005. As usual, she was just as sweet and loving as any person could be. She overcame many odds in her liftime and was a loving devoted wife, mother and super grandmother (not to mention a wonderful Aunt).
As much as I will miss her, I am happy that she is no longer in pain or suffering. She will be with our Saviour until the time we will all be united together. My prayers go out to my cousins and all of the other family members and friends who knew her.
I just pray that I will be able to live such a long and heartfelt life as she did. May the Lord be with you and give you peace.
