I light this candle in memory of a beautiful woman of God! May your souls rest in perfect peace! You will be missed! Love, Robin Gundana (niece)

My dear Aunt is with The Lord now. Of that, I am certain. "And then one day life's cast aside, And heaven's doors are open wide, You'll march right in and take your place, And there you'll see His loving face, And on that day, God will make clear, What happened down there's what brought you here! Your journeys done, such sweet release. And now, my child, you shall have peace. You kept the faith, Trudged through the night, For after darkness, always comes the light." Love you, your niece❤️
