In loving memory of Aunty Josefina Merruarutia

well I have been so busy lately and life has been so stressful I havent had a chance to update recently.

Aunty Jo passed away on 28th April. In the end it was a peaceful departing surrounded by family who were all sharing good memories, the best way to go for her. As she was a single lady with no children we have been given the job of sorting out her estate, so the next few weeks are going to continue to be difficult with dealing with probate and distributing things and inheritance among the remaining family. Prayers would be gratefully appreciated.

Her funeral was lovely! a time of happy remembrance and family reminiscence. The funeral directors handled everything so sensitively and the priest did her proud with a very suitable requiem Mass. It was a celebration of her life and she would have been so pleased to know that.

Through all of this we have been very conscious of our God's sustaining power and guidance, He has been faithful as He promised and kept us united and at peace despite the sadness of departure.
