Aurelia was our precious gift from God. She honoured her parents and spoke with the highest regard for them both. She loved her husband Victor and worked hard beside him, to raise 7 beautiful children in a ship shape house. Aurelia had flair. She was creative; taking courses in cake decorating, sewing, and oil painting. She enjoyed colour and style, and classy suits and cute shoes too. Church was always a big part of her life. Aurelia set on a quest for answers from God, while some of her dear family members were suffering with cancer. During this search she became a born again Christian. Aurelia began to change and soften. She grew into a beautiful Christian woman. Her love for God and concern for her family kept her and Vic on their knees in fervent prayer. Aurelia was a true friend and wonderful counselor. Even in days when Alzheimer was robbing her cognitive skills, her perception stayed keen, and her common sense was alive and well. She was a prayer warrior. Aurelia loved music, and loved to sing. Many hours were spent travelling with her and Vic singing, during vacation time. When sadness, or fear set in later in her life, she still had a listening ear and would respond to many hymns with a tapping toe and a smiling response of “that is beautiful.” Aurelia and Vic enjoyed watching their grandkids play baseball. Her biggest fear after Vic passed was that she would forget her grandchildren. Alas this did happen. She forgot her seven children, 21 “grands”, and all of her “greats” … but she recognized when she would hear the squeals of delight in the room, that they were precious. She was always a Mom, concerned that no one would get hurt. When people surrounded Aurelia with love and kindness she would simply tell them “I love you.” Her world had changed, but her family simply grew bigger. We love you Mom. You will always be cherished in our hearts and remembered with fondness by all of your family and friends. May Aurelia see our Heavenly Father clearly and be filled with great joy in the presence of her Savior Jesus… and we know Dad was waiting to share a slow dance with her on the clouds.
