I fought my hardest against lung cancer, but my time had come and my mom took me home peacefully Wed Aug 5, 2020. I am no longer in any pain, Ive got my full set of teeth and Im with my loved ones watching you all from heaven playing cards and Risk. Lol. I lived a good life and have no regrets. I encourage good reads such as "The diary of Ann Franks", and "The Green Mile" . One of my favorite jokes to pick someone up when they where hurt was ... "Does your face hurt ? Cause its killing me! Lol" Remember our good memories, and please try to be at peace as I am, for I will always be with you now, an angel in the sky, watching over you, being your guiding eye.
I love you, good night.
In loving Memory of

GENTLEST HEART OF JESUS, ...have mercy on the soul of thy servant, bring him far from the shadow of exile to the bright home of heaven. Where we trust Thou and Thy Blessed Mother have woven for him a crown of unending bliss. Amen.
Let there be no rage against the dying of the light
For I was able to go gently into the goodnight
Though wise men at their end know dark is right
I held on as long as I could and tried to fight
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Cherish their loved ones, memories and hold them tight
I lived a great life and wouldn't change it any other way
But I could not stay for another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
My soul is now in heaven, do not dismay
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunrise and prosperity of tomorrow
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
But dont fill yours with sadness and grief
May the good Lord have mercy on my soul
And provide you with peace and comfort
I was set free and write to condole
The lightening strikes, and the thunder rolls
Ill send pennies down below
To comfort you and let you know
You are loved and watched over too
Cherish our memories, dont be blue
For I will always be with you
An angel in the sky
Watching over you
Being your guiding eye
I love you, ❤️ good night.

and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
