Due to certain circumstances, we cannot be with you today to celebrate my motherA¢??s life. Most of you knew my mother very well. Her traits were one of deep love and compassion for others. She was a caregiver and she loved life. Not being a person of means, she would give what she had to help someone in need. Having a love for animals, she would take in strays and care for them until their life was complete. As I look back on my youth, I remember her singing the Ave Maria as she washed the dishes. She had a beautiful voice and to this day in my heart, I can still hear her singing with joy. I have nothing but fond memories of this wonderful person I call Mom. She loved me and taught me right from wrong. She was an inspiration to me and I love her very much. She will be missed by her grandchildren and great grandchild as well as all of you in attendance today. Without a doubt, this wonderful person is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, looking down at all of us from Heaven and waiting for our arrival to the gates of Paradise to be together for eternity. God bless each and every one of you. Sincerely John, Janis and Gabby Tricia and John Melissa, Chris and Noah
