An Angel’s Goodbye:
An angel came to me last night
He knelt down by my bedside and said
My time has come, I have to leave
I will not be here in the morning, but rather
by God’s side instead
I know my passing came rather quickly
and there was not much time for goodbyes
It will come as a shock to you and I know you’ll be sad
But there really is not need to cry
You see when God came for me I was happy to go
Because my destiny has been fulfilled
My life has always been full and I’ve savored much
And I spent a great deal of time loving you so
So please do not allow the end of my journey to leave you with a void
Instead I want you to fill it with memories of who I was
Remembering all the ways I brought you joy
Always know that I loved you so
And never think that you didn’t do, say or show me yours enough
You have been the light of my life and reason for my journey
But the time has come and I must go
I promise you that I will always be with you
Sharing the sunshine of tomorrow
Only this time I will be above the sun and you will be below it
And each time it warms your face you will remember me anew.
R.I.P Dearest Connie
Dearest uncle Nicky and family. To lose someone is awful in itself but so suddenly is devastating. Aunt Connie as I recall was a special person. She was funny and kind especially to me. I cherish the times I spent with u and her in Toronto and our car rides in the evening. Time catches up with all of us not realizing how fast it really does fly. I realize now that I’m older how important it is to stay connected. We forge ahead and are hopeful that one day we will all meet in heaven. Thinking of u during this sad time. May God keep ur family close and dear to u. With much love your niece in ssm – Iole
Sorry for your loss,our condolences to the entire family Antonietta & Elveo.
Rest in peace Connie.
My heartfelt condolences to you Mariann, your Dad and Son during this time of sorrow. May God give you the strength and peace of mind that your Mum is now looking down on her loved ones.
May her soul rest in peace.
Love always
Maria and your WhatsApp group friends
Dear Mariann and Family,
My heart felt condolences to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow. God Bless you all.
So sorry to hear of your loved ones passing. Praying that her last few weeks we’re not painful and that she was able to be surrounded by the love of her loved ones, may she rest in peace, and be rejoined in eternal love alongside her dear daughter, Elizabeth. Praying for strength and guidance for the family who will miss her until the day they are rejoined together in heaven. 💕🙏🏼
