Aunt Mary,
I have just been made aware of your passing a few days ago, via my mother Janice Hitra (widow of Michael Hitra) your brother -in-law.
I am so sad to hear of your passing and wish to send my thoughts and prayers to the family.
I must say it has been years/decades since I have seen your smiling face and cannot believe that now I never will again.
Rest in peace in the Lords loving arms.
Melissa
