In the short time knowing “ Auntie” she blessed me with a great smile, laughter, wisdom and stories of the past. It wasn’t hard to adore her immediately. The glow Auntie omitted didn’t disappear when she took her first step into paradise I believe it’ is with everyone she knows and cares for. That kind of genuine kindness , compassion and strength she radiated is now with her family and friends . A true beam of light and love the world was blessed having Auntie and her impressions will glow on with all she met. In this difficult time thinking of her makes me smile and push forward. Thank you auntie for being a true Angel to me and this world . 💛

Sharing a thought as Aunty peacefully rests:
“Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry—
I am not there,
I did not die”.
