We extend our sincere apologies to anyone whose name was unintentionally omitted from this remembrance. We acknowledge that the impact of a loved one’s passing reaches far and wide and there may be individuals who played significant roles in our mother’s life and may not be mentioned here. But realize that each of you holds a unique place within the legacy left behind.
Thank you to all who were able to visit, sit, talk and provide comfort to our mother during what we thought was her road to recovery. Thanks to all who prayed for her, and who reached out to help in every way they could. Words cannot express how grateful we are to everyone. The kindness shown to us crystalized what we already knew and experienced and that is, that our “Queen” was an amazing woman and her spirit will live on through the kindness she showed to others.
There will be NO VIEWING AT THE FUNERAL HOME. Relatives and friends can pay their respect at the church on Saturday from 10:00am until service time.
