Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.

There are angels among us, and for 81 years, we were all more than blessed to have one providing guidance, comfort, and unconditional love, each and every day. You never asked nor expected anything in return, but gave freely to family, friends, and even strangers. You earned your wings long before you walked through the pearly gates. Mom, GiGi, TiTi, Grandma, we will miss you everyday, every hour and every minute. No goodbyes, only we will see you later. We love you forever, always and after.
